Its hard to make the porno red look good, but if you got it you got it,, i would consider a ky1 silver(04nissan) for the top the black trim of the windows and molding realy makes it pop, then two tone the bottom at the bodyline with black,or dark grey run a flame inbetween the two with a red outline then eventually upgrade to black interior that would look sick ,,just my opinion

'03 Torch Red...and convert the interior to black.


I am not a fan of color changes. Unless you are gonna paint the engine bay, the entire door and inside the jambs and under the hatch and the hatch jamb, then don't bother.

Nothing says tacky than opening the hood of a black car and seeing a different color engine bay.

Well, I got alot of great ideas from everyone, but the one that I get the most is "keep it red" lol, I guess i'm going to go the simple route and do that. Now, how does the factory red look? (I only know what the 22 year old factory red looks like, ha). If not, what are some good reds to go with?

Keep it red, imo strawberry red looks nasty on gt's.. (in a good way)

No matter what i would go red. its the orig color. If you go a diff color you gotta paint the jams underhood trunk all that ****, Why do that when reds a nice color

Performance red is a nice one.(non metallic) If you go with a metallic red I do suggest that you paint the bottom half titanium(from the moulding down) It looks much cleaner that way.
