My car got keyed! Help me pick a new color...
Last night I walked out to my car and saw profane words gouged into my hood, quarter panels and hatch. I dont know who did it for sure, but I have a good idea. Insurance is going to cover repainting the car, and I was toying with the idea of getting a new color. I was thinking about either Steel Grey from the viper:

or electron blue:

Okay, admit it, you keyed your own car to let the insurance company pay for the new paint job...
j/k, I hope not! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />
I like both colors but I'd have to say go with the GM color.

The police won't waste their time on an investigation. They might say they will - but they won't. They could give a rat's *** about vandalism on a college campus. Keyed vehicles happens way too often for them to spend any time on it. Their efforts in the report are strictly for the insurance company.
Your energy will be better spent figuring out how to keep it from happening again, especially to your new paint job.

Re: My car got keyed! Help me pick a new color...
Ive done some thinking, and the Steel Grey is growing on me. My brother has a 2001 Formula and wants a Trans Am, so we are gonna switch front and rear clips, ill give him the side skirts, and we will swap hatches as well. The car will then be a steel grey WS6 formula slammed on FM10s, I like the sound of that <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Thoughts?

I voted steel grey! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I say keep the rear T/A bumper and hatch but get the front formula bumper.

Nick, you might also consider "Storm Gray Metallic" which is the color of my GMC. That color would look very nice (and different) on an F-body.

Good idea on the Formula swap also <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Damn man, that really sucks.
My vote is for the steel gray...I just got my fox body mustang painted that color and it looks great.
