Which color blue to paint my 88 iroc?

So, I'm trying to decide what color to paint my iroc. I really like the color blue since its a different color to see around here. Any advice would be nice? I like these two blues so far. The car is going to have the black hood louvers though. And with the lighter blue, I would have black headlight pockets and such...not sure if I want to do that with the darker blue.

Navy Blue Metallic





Ultra Blue Metallic

What stance are you using ? Does your car look like the first photo. ?
If it does than most definitely the darker blue. It looks much more aggressive.
The cars going to be high gloss so I would paint the lovers gloss black and leave the buckets blue. Install the gloss front insert with the red bow tie or paint the bow tie the color of the car.
That will look mean.
If that's what your looking for ?
