So.... The red and black stripe paint on the FC isn't staying on it. Its well done for spray can but it was Chris' thing not mine and the car is getting painted.
The car currently has some 15" mesh wheels that have a gold center and the intakes on the current motor are now spray can gold. So i'm keeping that in mind with exterior color kind of. Its easy to change but i like it right now.

But i don't know what exactly i want... I have a few in mind. So i made a poll. And below is some food for thought...

Black was my FOERST choice. My friend doesn't really want to spray black but he will if i end up choosing it. I like black. Sure its common, but its still sexy after all these years. And its easy to work with when choosing other things like wheels and shit. Glossy black is win.

Red... Like a deep red. Not blinding, not regular red, but with a dark tone to it. I will try and find a picture of my friends dakota, it was the red i want, i loved the color on his truck. Made me like red all over again.

Hot Pink. This was actually thrown at me by a friend and i strangely considered. There is a pink FC on the west coast, and of course there was martys car before the wrap. I like this idea still, but don't know if it is appropriate without immediate aero and big ballin' rims.

Purple. I was playing tennis last night and the racket was this awesome purple. It was deep, and had sparkly stuff in it. So like a darker purple with flake... Same dilemma as the pink though. Wheels/stockish body may not be enough to back up this choice.

Green. Another one that would be Dark. I like the idea. I could paint the inside of my wheels white and join the green/white crowd. Never truly seems to dissapoint.

White. Championship white. I love white. But damn its really hard to keep clean....

Well its 3:30am. I just figured I'd post this up and see what kind of response it generated and what you guys thought of the choices, and if you had any opinions. If i think of any others i'll edit.

See ya'll at teh premier tomorrow(I mean today.. ugh its almost late) or at FD I suppose.

I voted for purple, but only because you are going to rock gold (better be bling bling) rims. I will tell you tho that it seems its a jinxed color.
Oh and hot pink is crazy played out. You should try looking at satin paint schemes.

even if you have an awesome purple paint job people will still say you're driving barney. the important thing to remember is baller wheels, fitment, and pants make any hunk of junk look ballin.

ps fc's can drag aero pretty easy so that better be on the checklist.

I put white....

but white can be boring on the track.

Red would be sweet but lets face it..... you don't need any help getting the laws eye on you.

I don't see you in purple or pink for some reason.... maybe cause you live around a lot of good ol' boys.

Too many black 7's..... or is there?

As for green... it better be a gnarly bright but not F&F green.

Did I help? no? lol

White accents the FC's body lines.

white, works well till you get everything else done. then it still looks good. show off lines really well and compared to black is 1000x easier to keep looking clean in Ga. I think silver is the only color that hides dirt better.

white still gets real dirty after 2 minutes of driving. i know all too well. silver has been working great for me though.

as for color i voted purple and gold cuz i love gold. purple with big ol gnarly flakes would look rather gangsta. maybe even throw a couple lowrider pinstripes on it.

+1 Silver. I haven't washed my car since I moved.
