Need opinions, read post inside

My car is at a local body shop and they will work on my car tomorrow. I am putting a full C-west bodykits and the C-west GT wing install along with bodyworks. Now should I go with the stock vintage red or a custom tricolor from Dupont which is a 3 stages with blue pearl in it. What do you guys think. There are too many colors to choose from. I decided not to paint the engine bay because it will cost more and the thing is that I want something to go with the engine bay without going to a different color. My car is going for show circuit so a regular paint job wouldn't do it.

yaaaa

Go for kermit the frog green!!

I would think that if you are trying to compete in shows that you will have to get the engine bay painted. I don't speak from experience but those cars are 110% perfect and I would think that an engine bay of a different color would penalize you big time.

I would not go stock red...I have never really like the red (i.e. I like red just not mazda stock FD red). It always seemed to have a dull appearance.

I would go the triple yada color you mentioned or porsche silver!!

The viper blue color is also sweeet.

I say go with a nice, deep red. Like porsche Torche Red..

I've always liked the factory red on the MKIV Supra. That's what mt friends is and it is a great color. Its a few shades darked than VR and it looks AWESOME when its cleaned up. And they are close enough together that you shouldn't notice much of a difference between the exterior and the engine bay.

Just my $.02
