Since when did bright colors become "ricer"? I think lime green would be a nice alternative to all the other colors out there that are a dime a dozen.....

It cracks me up that people are so quick to bash the color, but can't even use correct grammar or spelling for that matter while they're doing it.....

I think if it was just lime green with maybe some fikse's (chrome of course), it might, hence might, turn out okay.

dammit to hell those WS6's look awesome

i think that orangeish yellow looks FANTASTIC (dave chappel voice from half baked)

i like the lime green, i would just leave that portion that goes between the t-tops and the back glass black on all the colors. how bout a photochop of that?

There will be plenty of engine mods and such too
Have you ever seen that shade of green that the Murcielago comes in? It's sort of a pearl lime green, that would look sick on a TA. Don't let these haters get to you, go for it, but without the hood stripes.

Absolutely agreed.... to me, rice is more attitude than specific mods/colors/etc. However fart cannons will still **** me off.

Paint it the color you like. That is why we customize our cars to make them our own. My opinion the orange/yellow looks sweet!

Frikin Ghey? Ow, my head hurts.

I'll lay down 100 bucks that any one of those colors would get tons of compliments.

As for being rice; yes, I am definitely a ricer. You can tell by the two cars I already own, and the third one that will be added soon.

^that looks crazy (in a unique way). I say go with it but do the green and black ALL the way through. Its not so much the color but the theme of the car.Limo tint and black decals, rims etc. will change a lot of minds

i was just gonna post the same thing. lime green aint rice, lime green on a winged honda with neon and stickers galore is rice.

that being said, i dont care for the green that much, but the yellow and the orange looks sharp. i had a 81 trans am i had a batch of ford chrome yellow mixed for, but the paint guy got a touch too much red in it, and it came out kinda tangerine looking, it was hella sharp, could pick it out of a parking lot miles away.

dont bother asking for assistance all your gonna get is "it looks like rice",which is kinda sad cause your asking for criticism (sp). It happens all the time.... Paint it the way you want it painted and move on! Otherwise its rice.. Want fikses, its rice. Want a carbonfiber hood, its rice. Want 3 gauges in a pillar, its rice.
Buying mods like everyone else on this board Priceless........

I think all those colors seem good...these "rice" comments are stupid. Leave that crap in highschool...How can a ******* Trans Am with a unique paintjob ever be rice? Unless he had a big Type R on his hood and an aluminum wing...that car wont be rice. Keep the project classy, and maybe since ur goin with a retro color, maybe get some TTIIs and 1st gen style birds (like the rear trunk lock area between the taillights)

Good luck.

ignorant comments
