Need opinions

this may be the wrong forum for it..... but i wanted opinions on my paint choices. I'm stuck between midnight blue, and black, and whether I want a silver bird, or silver racing stripes.

any thoughts?

Sounds like a nice car, once it's built. I vote black with a bird emblem, but don't make it too big. Subtle is nice, too, when done right.

Edit: Why the TH350? If you could shove a TH700 in there, you'd gain an overdrive gear, and improve cruising economy. (Unless I'm stupid and got the 350 mixed up with something else)

you should ask a mod to move it to the auto detailing and appearance forum

not a bad idea. I'll do that. thanks guys!

EDIT: I got the TH350 because it was built already... it and my motor came together, and only cost me $1000, from door to door. also, my car originally had a TH200c.

anybody else? so far it's dead even between black with a silver bird and blue with silver stripes, but it's kinda hard to tell with only 5 votes. come on.... more people vote.... help a confused car nut out!
