I have arctic silver. They made a lot of cars in that color. I think that color makes the car look faster then any blue color would.

Why don't you go with somethin different instead of painting your car the same as a quarter of the people in the forum. Being different is good because it seperates your car from everyone elses. If you happen to like only these colors thats a different story. If you happen to want to keep your car stock then thats okay too. But you should paint it something different so your cars original.

Hence, Baby-blue and white is the choice for mine. Whatever guys wanna call me a ***** for baby blue can eat it cause it looks sic and the ladies love it. 2 cents

I paid $3000 cdn for everything excluding the engine bay. Thats all the body work, 2 primer coats, 3 paint coats and 3 clear coats. I also got the front grill cut out and fiberglassed the sides to make it look somewhat smooth. The spoiler was also fiberglassed to get rid of the hole for the radio antenna.

My old NA was blue, and my TII is silver. I definitely like silver better. Silver, white, and black are my fav. colors for sure.
