Silver looks good on an FC. Ie seen a couple of yellow ones, they are cool too, but it would get old to drive it everyday.

Silver kicks ***. Im going to get my car painted silver before I swap in a new motor I think. If not ill do it after I swap in the new motor.

Silver's tight, but why? Whats the problem with the yellow? Also do you get the hook up on paint jobs or what? Cuz I would spend that money on performance mods myself.

I would have to say do it before. If you got the old engine out then you could get the engine bay painted too, a lot cheaper since stuff doesn't need to be pulled and put back.

The color looks good. Why would you want to change it? Changing the color the right way will be ALOT of work. I know because I've done it.

Keep it yellow. That's not a stock color, and it looks GOOD on there!

I can sympathize with not wanting a bright color. But at least yours isn't orange with ugly graphics on it.

I like both yellow and silver. Silver would surely get less attention from the police, so that may be a plus, but like 13BAce said, changing a color is a lot of work, and you won't be happy if it's not done right. (like mine)

Did you buy the car that way? I like the orange, but im not too fond of the graphics. It might look ok with either one of them, but not both.

Yes I bought it that way. The two stripes are getting taken off, if I ever get around to taking off the second one anyway. But the checkers on the sides is paint, so I'm kinda screwed there. I like the orange but the other crap is annoying. The problem with mine is that the paint is really crappy (I think Maaco). No clearcoat and it's chipping off in places. I don't have any pics, mostly because I have no digicam or scanner. BOOSTD7 might have snapped a pic, or someone else who saw me at the october gathering the few minutes I was there. (dont ask why) He said he was gonna get pics up from that but never did.

Yours looks better than mine, unless mine was meant to have red polka dots.

No, but it used to be red. So when the paint ships I get little red spots.

That's ok. I still like it. You could always just have the door jams painted when you have a chance.
