Ok, I dunno how big of a fan anyone else here is of the color, but I thought about changing my car from the factory color to the mopar "Plum Crazy" I think it's pretty spiffy... I don't care if it's purple or not.


Just doing it white again is cool too... white is a very clean color....

I say nothing fancy if you're gonna keep the 2.8. But thats just my opinion.

i say do whatever the heck you want regardless to the motor size in it. motor size does not effect quality of looks, look at redraif's car...if you want more power later, drop a 350 in it, but if your going just for looks right now, get a good paintjob, something that you can live with untill you can buy a new paint job.

if you're like me, one day you want stripes, the next day flames, and then ghost flames. so i would get just a simple color, maybe with a cool clearcoat, that'll look good to you no matter what mood you're in. but all in all, the most important thing is whether you like it or not - not what we think!
