Click to expand...

Here are 2 pics of my car...




I'm not saying you have to go red - I like the sonic blue idea. Heck - if I saw 87ttopstang's car before I got mine painted last year, I would have seriously considered a color change! Here's a sick shot of his car:



As for your poll, I'd ditch the stripes and make the car a single color.

Go with stripes before any door graphics. Graphics usually suck.

And I agree with DeVus1 to a point...but not completely. I'd rather see many other wheels on your car, but Cobra R's are still better than stockers!

In order to keep the same outer wheel/tire diameter, you have to lower the profile of your tire in relation to the increase in wheel size.
Here's a good link to help you out:

My colour is 98 Toyota Royal Saphire Pearl. And as far as the rims go....I have always liked cobra r's. Go with a rim that you really like cause they are too expensive to switch in a year or two if you get sick of them.

Since you live in another country about 10 hours away, I guess not

Another member on here just used the paint code as well. He hasn't posted the results yet though.
