Two tone thirdgens don't do anything for me.
I'd paint the entire car white, if you really wanted another color, racing stripes would be pretty cool, but DON'T over do it.

My car was white with silver ground effects, I painted them solid white. Both ways look good, but I like the solid white better. I'll try to post a pic. It's an old pic and probably not very good, but you get the idea.

Thanks, I really like your rims NCZ28 Were did you get those? I canīt decide but it would be alot cheaper for me to leave it silver, and put the money on rims like those NCZ28 got, those kick a**.

I actually got those rims from a junk yard. The guys had just taken them off of an IROC and they were covered with mud. I asked if they were for sale. He said he would take $200 for them. I bought them and cleaned them up. They had already been sanded smooth. I just polished them, and they look like what you see in the pic. I think I got a good deal.

Damm right it was a great deal man. I live in Sweden so those kind of rims donīt come around often though
I saw new ones at some webshop..but they were expensive as hell.
Iīm afraid to sand my stock wheels in case I mess them up.

I'm voting for painting them white. I don't like the ground effects painted. Nice car, either way.

I like the Silver.

Here's a decision maker, if your current setup is banged up by rocks, then paint them white, if not, leave it.
