heres mine i have lots more pics just not on my labtop at the moment. its a nice color, its different from the typical black and white s14s you see.

I agree, that dark red 350z color looks good. http://www.tamaroffnissan.com/images...gundy-3qtr.jpg

its an ugly color imo, paint it different, dont worry about painting the whole chassis, otherwise trade cars or keep the same color.

Midori · 03-15-2007, 09:30 PM

All I think you need is rims. Thats a nice color and looks good with bronze rims like the with the Rota Grids.

Ruby red pearl is one of those colors that
LOOKS GOOD when its are fresh with glossy clearcoat but
UGLY when it is faded and dull.

Why not paint it another similar red pear color?

Here is a bmw color 'calypsorot metallic'

It looks so much better in person.

Please don't ever, ever, ever, ever, recommend rotas again please.

That said, I thinks a nice set of rims would work wonders as it does with almost anything. The money spent on the paint as opposed to painting the trunk only could so better be spent.

i completely agree. s13 "cherry red pearl" is fucking GORGEOUS when it's new,
but every old 'cherry red pearl' s13 (including mine) look like rotten fruit.

if you're any maroon, do it right, or it'll look like dickhole.

NotoriouS14 · 03-16-2007, 05:04 PM

how about the oem desert gold. thats my color and i think its pimp.

nevaland9 · 03-16-2007, 05:11 PM

I love red...my first car was red. R.I.P 1-18-05

i dont really consider than color red tho, its more of a burgundy/maroon

My 3rd S13 is red too

vvvvv

ALEXTHESUS*PECT · 03-16-2007, 05:26 PM

Oh I wasn't recommending rota grids...I was mentioning about the ruby red S14 in the other pic, I said if you just put some rims on I think it will look a lot better, Trust me I HATE Rota.

I would keep the same color. I love the color of my car.
