Default what color should i paint my coupe?

everone keeps telling me to paint my coupe back the original electric red, but i was thinking of dark highland green like on the 01 bullitt mustang.

so should i go dark highland green or electric red? thanks

well, id probably pick the one that looks better to me if it were my car. not what anyone else says.

with that outta the way. both colors can look great. color does a lot for the appearance, but it really depends on what you do with the overall appearance, (lights, rims, grill, other accessories, etc) and how it all comes together. i consider all of these things. its a lot easier to meet your goals when you have a plan in mind.

i havent even bought my next car, but i know exactly how it will look by the time i'm done with it. from the body work i'll be doing, to the paint, to the rims, and everything in between, all the little things. but thats a secret.

If you cant decide between the two id just go with the red since it will be cheaper since its the original color.

its gonna get bullitts either way lol. havent decided on 17x10.5 or 18x10 though. either way i'm gonna have to bust out the B.F.H. to make them fit and possibly have to remove the quad shock lol.

and d.h.g. and elec. red two tone would look gay lol. not a big fan of two tone cars anyway.

17's will look better on there. 18's will be a bit too much for its body style -the size on there now looks perfect.

oh, and since i didnt say my opinion earlier, i'd go with the dark green. and blackout the red parts of the rear lights and leave the clear alone. plus deep tints, and the rims you have planned, in the anthracite color mentioned above. that'd look great

yeah that would look killer except the only thing i would do diff is do the black DD bullitts... i LOVE that green, thats the only green i like... i love red but i have never seen a fox in that color and i think with black accents it would look KILLER! somone who is good at photo shop should chop that up!

yeah i used to have a 2v rustang and had black DD bullitts and my friend had a bullitt and we switched rims and his car looked KILLER with those wheels on it, that color looks really good with black accents... either color rims will look good but i think the black would look the best... i would photoshop it but i dont know how...

i dont know how to either lol. they only made 700 coupes in 93 that was electric red, and prolly only a couple them was ssp cars like mine, thats why i'm so torn between the two colors. but i would have one of the most unique foxes on the road with dhg color and dd bullitts. i need to buy another coupe apparently and have both colors lol
