I think your car looks good the way it is now. Especially if you keep the black flowing and get your trunk black. (Can't see it in the pic, doesnt know if it is done or not). As people have stated, the resale wont be that great. Someone will think there was something wrong with the car(wreck or something), so you got it repainted. Also just think, the money you spend on the paintjob could be money spent on go fast goodies!

not a big fan of pearl. after seeing the STI pearl it reminds my of a caddy. I would just do a house of color white or something not pearl. Don't wrooy about resale. we won't get our money back from mods either.
Good Luck with the project!!!

second how does a car all painted one color even come close to being rice? you obviously dont know what your talking about.

i think the car will look awesome pearl white...
with paint just cause your paying more, doesnt mean your getting better quality. a guy i work with had his chevelle body painted for almost 8 grand, and it had dirt in the paint and fish eyes through out. you can tell they didnt wet sand the car either. and there was overspray on some parts. its all about the shop you go to and the people you know

I was told not to go pearl because it is hard to match if I ever needed to repaint but I like my decision . I have possibly the only white pearl purple evo. It looks white when you glance at it but any kind of light concentrated on the evo turns the color purple.
