Question color paint?

Ok,
WHEN i get a T2 im thinkin of paiting it a yellow coloe such as on the new RX-8. Cause i kinda like it and its also different. Well i also want to paint the inside as well. I wanted to do silver like my friend did in his FD on some parts, but that may contrast with the yellow to much. So if i use moderate amounts on both silver and yellow i was hoping that would look good, cause that yellow RX-8 in road and test has a the yellow, silver and black interior. But do u guys think it will be to ricey???

Turbo23,

Several TII owners with the black interior painted their car the 3rd gen yellow. VERY NICE!!!!!

The other color interiors like blue or red would'nt look too good with a yellow exterior though.

Personally I think the carbon fiber look works well, but anything that's HIGH contrast agains the OEM interior is a bit tacky. If you want to a 2 tone inteior go with something that's either a complimentary color but not too extreme (ie neon) or combine dark colors (dark red on black).
