Go with "ThatGuy Green" FTW!!!! I would go with British Racing Green or a Dark Metallic color. Its your option and without pics its harder. *a

CylonFrakker · 09-13-2006, 09:25 PM

Porsche Carrera GT Seal Grey mixed with alpine silver.

bnaley · 09-14-2006, 12:51 AM

Sorta like this TVR grey/silver?

TVR reflex charcoal is nice too.

Dang I didn't think it would be this hard to choice a color. I saw the green on a mr2 and decided against it since it didn't look all that great. Oh and this is not a show car but I want it to still look nice and unique. The built rb26 motor should be putting out around 500-600whp on pump gas.

dood these colors are WAY better now your talking. i wouldnt mind seeing the dark green like what i was talking about before. or even that other color is sick. but the key is, will it look good on your car. you have to make that decision after listening to a bunch of interneters.

chmercer · 09-14-2006, 10:45 AM

paint it black, that way it will be harder to see, assuming all your body parts are knockoff and you have dogshit wheels, much like every american car i have ever seen with a s15 face.

All my body parts and rims are authentic JDM. Well except the phase2 motor trend gp sports style wing. That wing was over priced by gp sports imho. I believe in paying for quality parts unlike most other people who do these conversions. I'm getting a price on reflex charcoal right now so if its not overly expensive I will most likely be going with that color. I'll defiently post pics up when its done. Thx for all the opinions guys. It probably helped me from choosing a color that won't match my car.

true that. no need to worry about "standing out" with those parts.

drift freaq · 09-14-2006, 11:14 AM

I don't know I went through a lot of color ideas myself about my car. Soon to go to paint. In the end I am came to two realizations. 1. Does it work, and how much work it is to do it. 2. My factory color is dope and it would not hurt to go that way.
In the end, the originality your trying for will come out in your bodywork. Much like my car, hahahhahha. Yes I am going S13.5. Factory Urethane front bumper with a Gracer lip, factory urethane chouki side skirts, M Sport fenders and probably a M sport vented hood.
Under hood is a RB25, with goodies. Stance coilovers, Work Emotion CR KAI's blah blah blah

fromxtor · 09-14-2006, 11:29 AM

^ I'm painting my S13.5 the OEM metallic grey it came.

That's my plan aswell.

S.ONE.THREE · 09-14-2006, 11:48 PM

go with the green

sepulchral · 09-14-2006, 11:52 PM

ummm those colors like everyone said look cool but wont look that great on a 240 (or prove me wrong)

Best color ever:

BMW M5 BLUISH BLACK (dunno what the color is called but it is S-exy

LB.Motoring · 09-14-2006, 11:59 PM

why are we voting on the color your suppose to enjoy on yourrr chassis?

my vote. whatever you like. again. its yours.

**ThatGuy** · 09-15-2006, 04:40 AM

D-Town, my comment went completely over your head. Look at my car in the link in my signature. It's not "Army" green. It's Olive Drab. I hate when people say "Army" green.

i painted my s13.5 diamond pearl white (cadillac cts, escalade) came out looking nice. but i'm missing 18" rims. haha

axiomatik · 09-15-2006, 11:25 AM

the green will look goofy on a 240, and i don't think gold looks good on s13's or s15. go with that silver.

bnaley · 09-15-2006, 07:34 PM

I'm actually looking to get a candy apple red color like the one on this saleen S7.

http://www.motorcities.com/contents/...383914452.html

Too bad they don't sell the paint for it.
