IMO (coming from a guy owning a black car), black is an awesome color but for a daily driver I recommend looking at other options. Black is near impossible to keep clean and shows every imperfection, scratches, dings etc.

A color that I really like is the sunbeam silver that our cars came with. Easy to keep clean, always looks sharp, and stays cooler in warmer climates.

i very much agree. ocean blue is a great color!! i am partial to it since aquiring my 85 GS in L6. i guess it depends on what color interior you have. that would help narrow it down some.

Stock Color or something very close. It will end up looking better even if it is not your desired color choice.

That is unless they are doing a complete color change with the motor and interior out of the car.

any of these:

Tornado Silver Metallic (K8)

Brilliant Black Metallic (PZ)

Sparkling Black Metallic (H1)

Titanium Grey (29Y, touch-up code 66) - it's an RX-8 colour, I know, but looks awesome
