color help
 

ok
i have been looking at just about every color i could think of on an SA and well i don't know what i want to paint mine now

I want it to be a different color that well not too many people have on their 7's and i don't want it to be flashy
so that means no k8 or the red and especially not the savannah green

im just stuck
because i will not have the body moldings back on
and i won't have the front bumper or rear bumper moldings on it because of the prices
so i welded the holes up
smoothed it out and made the indention a little better so its not too deep
but it isn't smooth plain and boring
i need some opinions

i like the first one. slight purple tint. looks awesome imo

Hey, I remember you.

have you considered Tender Blue, color code V3? another nice one is Custom Silver, color code V9..

I was going to say a deep dark purple, then I saw the first pic. Definitely go with something like that. Dark purple looks sexy on a car and you don't see it very often.

yea i really like the dark purple with how the sa looks but my boss was saying its gonna be pretty hard to match that color without a code because of it being in a cloudy setting

i really want to do it like that but idk i've seen a few nice dark dark blues too

my dad thinks i should do it monaco blue metallic but idk

by the way that tender blue looks good but the problem is well the moldings being off and the front and rear bumper being sort of custom i guess idk
its not too much of a change but with them sort of made i want the car to be a darker color
so its not too noticeable if its been changed

Are you doing the painting yourself?

Hey! There's my old girl! How's she treating you these days?

Whatever color you decide will look great. I personally love the factory K8, but that's just my opinion. Whenever you get that thing done, you better bring the old girl up for a reunion :D

I kinda like that your li'l SA has cornered that uppity Honda back there...

haha yea shes doing good
but well im doing the body work and i might have my boss paint it if i can convince him to

hes really good at painting
but he saw an imsa setup and thinks i should look at it
we can probably make one idk he thinks we can from the few pictures hes seen in my rx7 book

That would be good if you could do that. I think the SAs look better with the IMSA kit than the FBs.

yea idk i hope we can that'd be badass

i wanted it to be sort of stock looking but figured what the hell your gonna hear it way before you hear it

oh and about that
what kind of exhausts do you think would help it on the power anymore than the setup you had?

3" to a straight through muffler. It will be loud as hell, but make the most power :D

I like the sound of the racingbeat streetport exhaust.

This thing is a 12A bridgeport. It would beat the RB exhaust to pieces in about a day :D

Well, fine then, since you put it that way. I guess I missed that somewhere.

haha yea but i don't want it to be deafening
even though i wonder what it would sound like =]]]....
maybe

idk
what do you think of something similar to the monza setup and just run it straight through until where the monza hooks up? no cats at all

I'm running a 1/2 bp, full 3" mandrel bent exhaust with 2 14" Magnaflows, one small round, the rear one is an oval. It's still loud. If done again I'd go with 2 Borla ovals. That will help some but probably not enough, lol.

This used to be my old ride. It's a full bridgeport (that I built). It has a Racing Beat header, presilencer, glasspack, then a Flowmaster at the end, and it still sounds like this :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09_ukjxh-zM
