I just added a body kit to my FC, but i wanted to get everyones opinions if i should paint black or red?

 

This thread should have been a poll post

black

 

Sorry i did not know how to do a poll post but thank you for your opinion on the color

 

black FC and white FC are best in my book. kit looks good btw

 

Thank you, the back bumper was a pain when i went to fit the bumper it would not fit what i found out that the car was hit on the back so it was full of bondo so it took me all day removing it lol

 

Doesn't really float my boat...looks like a late 1980's 300ZX with the headlights like that. I think the 2 colors are throwing off my taste, I'd probably go uniform with color and make it all red.

 

Go white!

 

Can't go wrong with either color; they're both pretty classic. But I always have trouble understanding why anybody would seek the opinion of others in an area that's governed purely by personal taste. Neither color is "better," so pick your favorite.

One practical consideration is that if you're not going to do the jambs and pull the engine to paint the bay, keeping the exterior red will allow the body to match those parts of the car and the finished product will look more professional.

 

red

 

um, put that **** on the ground! only way to pull off the bn

I know its up to me but i just like the opinion of others, i already have a red rx7 its not running because i am building the motor

The only reason is red and black is because i just put on the body kit ad i need to paint it i am not going to keep it like that

 

you could always wrap it a color to see if you like it...swap it when you get bored...

 

looks sick man, i would go black

 

I just put in some Tein springs my front looks good but the back is real high. I cannot go any lower in the front i cannot even get out of the driveway right now lol

the first pic is from last week without the springs the second picture is with the Tein springs.

I would love to lower just the rear some more

 

ugh, why do people gotta buy a kit before they get coilovers? that bn is a bad choice if you dont wanna slam the car.

anyways, red

 

Keep it two tone like mine! ;p

 

agreed. coilovers, THEN bn.
i vote red as well

Lloyd

 

then 50mm rear jtp fenders + forsight front fenders = profit

 

Red

 

i agree with lani and magus, coil overs first. Springs will not be low enough for that bn kit imo. It will always look like a hover craft. And i think those wheels suit a less-aggressive body /stock body a little better.

If you drive the car alot, my suggestion is to go for red, since black is a lil more harder to maintain and road debris taking it a toll on the front. And we dont see too many red BN kitted cars. Paint the hatch black, and you can paint the window trim black too. will clean it up.

 

thank you for all the replies, black is hard to maintain and i live in houston there is not a road here without a pothole lol i will be driving the car allot so i love the slam look but my kit wont last a month the front looks good right now the only issue is the rear, if only someone was selling just rear coilovers lol

 

where did you get the kit? looks like it has pretty good fitment
you need to move to austin my friend, much nicer city! lol
i miss home (im from the dallas area)

i got it for $200 from a guy on craigslist in San Antonio, and yes it fitted real good for a one man job lol.

and now that the springs settled the fron has no wheel gap but the back is still higher than a truck i might need to though some heavy briks back there lol

but i guess most people like red so thats what i am thinking to go with

 

Red. Color changes suck.

 

i like red
