I would actually say stay with the black... it contrasts all the blue and adds to your already black tones (headlight buckets, rims, etc).

stay with the black , you know what else might look good , is a black decal or strip going down the raised side of the cowl hood, one on each side.

This is a hard choice, I feel your anguish. For the first time, I'm leaning towards black. It's entirely your call, cause they both look nice.

If I may make another suggestion, unblur the middle of your pic... it looks like you have another beauty in there. Is she stock or modded?

your car has lots of little black accents so why not something like paint the top half blue and the little spokes that come down black.

My vote is for black. the black spoiler is your car's identity! And I also vote for unblurring the girl... but i can understand why you did it with all of us rabid dogs foaming at the mouth! haha

::sits and ponders::

You know, I really dont know. I wouldnt paint it silver like mentioned before; that would just look disgusting. Blue would look more "stock" but since you are obviously not going for that, the black would give it an extra edge.

So i guess i would have to say black!

Although black may contrast well, and does match up nicely with the wheels, it will always look unfinished. I vote for body color.

Buy another one, paint one black and the other blue, and swap them as the mood fits.

heh 2 black stripes down the middle of the car....the 2 posts that hold up the spoiler black and the top body colour, then onto the back of the car, so the stripe flips sideways when it hits the spoiler

Geez paint it black already then, I'm tired of hearing about it. Everytime I say blue, you seem to be highly oppossed to it, so obviously u seem to favor black. I still say blue though. I think I have an easier time deciding how I want my thirdgen to look.
