I posted this in the appearence forum yesterday and no opinions. See if you guys can help me out.

I've killed several hours today on this forum and around the internet looking for a good paint scheme but can't seem to decide on anything. My car is in the shop to be painted and he said just to let him know how I wanted it done. I can't decide. Let me tell you what I've got, what I've contemplated, and then we'll kick around some ideas. It's black with the hugger orange stripes that continue across the roof panel and across the spoiler, hugger badging. I have t tops and the 98+ style ram air hood for the 93-97 T/A. The stripes on the hood cover the "ducts" perfectly. I have decided to remove the side mouldings for sure. So here are the options I've thought about:

1) keep the current scheme

2) same scheme, change hugger to SOM with CETA mod (not sure if SOM on the back bumper would be too cheezy)

3) SOM stripes on the hood, solid SOM roof panel, solid SOM spoiler, CETA mod, SOM badging

4) solid black with hugger hockey stripe, hugger badges

Any other suggestions? This is tough. Sorry I couldn't find a pic of my current scheme, I knew I had some..........

Well you seems set with orange of some type. Ive never seen hockey stripes on a T/A before. Might be different. SOM on a black car could look real sweet.

I always wanted to do a black car with silver stripes of some sort. just my 2 cents

Think SOM would look best with the stripes and CETA or do the solid roof and spoiler with CETA?

I would really need to see pics of your current paintjob to make any type of determination on whether or not I believe you should keep it.

Yeah I understand that but I can't find 'em. I'll keep digging. At least what does everyone think about the solid roof panel, solid spoiler, and CETA in SOM? That was my first gut feeling.

CETA is cool. If you're going to do that I would make it exactly like the CETA (not sure if the spoiler is solid or not).

why dont u go with Hugger Orange, with matt black CETA mod, Stripes and Blacked out lights, Black tent, and Gun Metal wheels with Polished lip.

I think it would be a Killer look.

I'll run a search and see what I find.

Well the car is black so no color changes, too much cost, too easy to screw up.

Just noticed its Black.
keep it Black, with SOM Graphics, but not SOM CETA.

OK the actual CETA has the matte black lower panel, solid black roof panel, but the spoiler is yellow with the car.

Stripes with a solid roof panel, I don't know why but stripes on the roof don't look right to me, but its your car. I still think SOM stripes would be very interesting

Oh yeah don't do the CETA panel in anything but balck, i don't think youll like it.

Yeah I've about decided just to do the SOM stripes on the hood, roof, and spoiler. No CETA mod. I feel like I need to do the stripes on the roof to kinda make the transition to the back. And I feel like stripes on the hood only would make it incomplete.

why dont you give the stripes a shadoo/Ghost effect, that would be nice too.

slowmofo

yeah ghost stripes are bad ***.....

how much of the roof are actually gonna have stripes on it if you have a t-top car? Id say dont do the stripes on the roof part at all. Not enough there to actually make it worth it. SOM stripes on black would look really really nice!

I make ask him about doing the ghost effect. I have to put a starter on it while it's there anyway, so maybe we can talk then. I'll probably stick to the stripes on the roof since I've already got that and I liked it.
