keep it stock color and mod it tastefully, and it will stand out. paint it lime green and you will stand out because you look like a ricer.

might try a different topcoat. Like a flat or a satin. Lot of work to keep them looking good though, since you can't wax them.

Maybe a pale green color.

but that's a stock color, and its not really what i think of when i hear lime green. i agree, thats probably one of the best looking colors on a first gen... and is stock.

when i think of lime green i think of this...



...which is hideous.

Sounds like you've already picked, but for my .02, I'd say the 350z burnt orange.

Then again, I'm a longhorn, so my tastes may differ from others. :P

Its a very nice 3d color, lots of depth.

I like the yellow color on my FB. It gets attention without screaming RICER.
Pics are on my profile if you wanna take a look.
