paint
 
About ready to strip down my car for a color change. I love the 83 le chat silver, or Maya gold. I will keep the side mouldings, and refinish my wheels with a black center.. the car has a brown interior.. which color do you prefer?, keep the air dam, or loose it?

Not usually a big fan of non-OE body work, but have to say that looks to be a very clean spoiler install. If it looks as good from the front, I'd keep it on.

Looks like the original Mazda IMSA front air dam to me. I'd keep it Personally. A color change is a big thing but worth it if you intend to keep the car.

with a brown interior i'd go with the gold.

You can go with a lot of colors with the brown interior. White.. Even Red.

They look so good in red!, not a fact color but I stumbled upon bmw, bronzit beige.. I like it...

I always liked that original light beige exterior with the brown interior, a nice combination.

I'm not a big fan of the body kits but that one looks pretty good, the wheels and pin stripe bring it all together.

I'd go with the original paint for less work and a better result, then maybe add a glass sun roof for a bit of class.

I concur. You're car is, to me, perfect. But it's your car. Have fun!

I am partial to the light beige. Any color besides beige or brown would not match the interior as well. imho frost beige? if it exist It might look good?

I would keep the air dam, but if you don't, please shoot me a PM as I would be interested.

I looked into removing it but it seems the original insaller used some space shuttle adheasive to attach to front bumper skin. Stays intact for now.

I've always liked the Porsche Ice green metallic, I wonder what it would look like on a fb?

lwrobins 03-06-16 03:31 PM

I think this is my favorite car and color! the Porsches had a tan interior with this color. Perhaps I could mold this car after these colors?

If you decide to do that, make sure and post it! I would love to see an fb in those colors

I think that car looks like crap, I'll do you a favor and tow it out of in front of your home. Make the wife happy (a happy wife is a happy life). No thanks necessary, just looking out for a homie.
