Question Need your opinions on paint color...
the car is going to the body shop soon and i have the option of going either lighter or darker. also you can't see it but there is a lot of metallic flake underneath the paint, so it's very sparkly.

what would you do....keep it the same? go lighter? go darker?

hey pressureized

do you like the look of the stock rear bumper rather then the c-west rear bumper?

im picking up my c-west kit tommorow and deciding if i would like to install the rear as well. but from your picture im having second thoughts.

by the way, a little darker is better =D
