I'd like a different color also (my car is the stock dark green) but I'm too lazy to do it right as of now... So I'm just going to repaint it the stock color for now to hold it off for a couple years so it doesn't have that garbage looking clearcoat peel.

But later down the line I'd like to change the color, and I was thinking yellow, orange, or red.

So I'd like to see some also.

i would pick the new sunburst orange from the new vette.... but i think i am gonna stick with just normal high gloss black with silver accents so when/if i get in a high speed evation i can turn off the lights and GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO but i would pick sunburst orange... its a bit darker than the SOM

Don't have a paint code, but before I got mine painted i narrowed it down between 3 choices, 2005 lambourghini yellow, white illusion, and tangerine and charcoal! Tangerine on top of charcoal would look sweet, with maybe a purple line to seperate the 2! You can actually seperate the 2 of them in any pattern and it'd still look good!
