is gold a good color for FC?

I am thinking to get a GTUs. Since the paint is getting old, I am thinking about repainting it to a Gold color. I think the tan interior will match perfectly...

what do you guys think? is that good combo?

Thanks,

As long as it's a darker gold color I think it would be alright, a lighter gold would look hideous. I had a friend with a new Cougar that was gold, actually looked pretty darned classy.

No 2nd Gen came with a tan interior. While I did have gold paint on my 88 GXL, I think that color is better off sticking on Cadillacs and Lincolns.

As the Rolling Stones say..."Paint It Black."

Ya I gotta say I really hate brown/tans/gold colors for cars, especially sports cars. I'd go with black if I had tan interior. How do you have tan interior anyways?
