Help me pick a new color scheme!

I really love the "red" themed look now. But I'm ready to try something new. I am completely open to ideas, except black. Been there and done that.

Thanks!


And for reference.

Pink!

You could theme the car Komen for the Cure!



And before anyone thinks I am trying to be a facetious, I lost both parents to cancer and my oldest son has had cancer. It would be a cool idea, maybe donate your Don Herring winnings to St. Jude or Susan B. Komen foundations.

Brittish Racing Green, but hold off on the racing stripes.

I havent seen a single dark green evo ( but have seen a few of that wierd honda pale green).






Or the GULF McLaren F1 is always pretty.

I love BRG! Not sure if I want to paint the entire car though, lol

The gulf scheme is awesome. Always loved this car.

I actually saw 1 sti and 1 evo with hot pink rims when I was in CALI last summer but both were driving by chicks. It didnt look bad at all but not sure if I would do it as I am going with "operation blackout" which consists of getting rid of the chrome inside and outside. Will not be blackening the taillights as that to me is rice (no offense to anyone that did).

I was considering doing my race wheels hot pink, suggestion from my wife and Jose. They look great on black or white cars.

I saw a mostly white X at SEMA that had hot pink wheels. Seriously regretting the red car now, as I want pink wheels! I have to decide between Stage 2 mods in March or a full paint a few months later.

Who are you going to have do the paint work?

There's the one I saw.

Sorry, let me make my self clear. Not painting the whole car lol!

Just looking at new wheel and graphics colors. I am open to a new theme such as the gulf race car, etc. This is NOT a show car and I'm not going to spend 3 grand on a wrap or 5k on new paint when that can go towards making the car faster

I always liked the apex silver matched with blue. not the cosmic blue but bright blue.

Florescent green goes with everything.

Are you going to do the new evod logo like jim and todd's race cars?
