What color is the car now. I'm kinda partial to original colors. They may not always be the best looking but you can build around that. When changing colors to do it right is alot of work.

Black looks best on the later 3rdgen Firebirds IMO... but Gunmetal is a very close 2nd

Electron Blue Metallic would look nice, a newer Vette color. I hope you're willin to spend a good hunk of $$$. I was really partial to the Magnetic Red II on the 2001 Vettes, but it was way out of budget for me.

I think a silver with metallic flakes in it looks great, especially if you have T-Tops and Blackouts on ur taillights/head lights. The two colors Black and silver always go good together
