I like white with any color, but to each their own. Other people will think differently. So just go with what color you like the most.

I think white or silver would look the best. If it were me I'd choose silver because I think its more exciting than white. Just my opinion. Get us some pics when its done!

Definately go with white, it's kind of retro with the hugger orange.

Leave the ground effects black, and put black heritage stripes on. That would look killer.

my iroc is called orange metallic. its like a reddish orange. some people don't like the color
and then some of them do. i really don't care because it was the stock color on my car.
i painted last spring with a buddy of mine. i can't wait til spring is here again.....

If I had to repaint my car, hugger orange would be one of my top considerations. But I think it is going out of style. Just like the lime green cars of the 70's. So don't do it becuase of popularity, but because you like it.

So what I was tring to say was that don't paint a certain color stripes on because of popularity, or because it won the poll, but because you like that color on a car
