If you really want to have lime green on teh car i say make the car BLACK with lime green stripes! that could look cool, even to all these people who think lime green is ugly, if it were a blac car with green stripes, i just think that could look awesome!

I'm diggin the lime green dude. Screw all the guys so quick to use the term "ricer" as they did that with the GFX on my bird. It's like either you just make it fast of leave it alone with them.
Just wait until I do the neon blue lights inside my ram air nostrils.

The lime green or that purple, forget the stripes. Think about inlaid flames deep in the paint but darker changing shades of the green or purple over the front part of bonnet going down along the guards onto the doors. Remember these are not on top of main coat but deep in it, they will look good.

It was a stock 1970 color for Camaros and Chevelles...in the days when NO ONE wanted a Japanese car.

Yea, and nobody has done that already..
Note to all.. Give the guy some credit for thinking outside the box .. and try to not be rude when giving your critsisum since it just makes you all look like 8th graders..
I don't like the lime green but another shade of green would probley look good, TA's are much better at pulling off a wild color than Camaros are.
Check out some of the green pearls from House of Kolors

Personally I think the key is for it to be metallic green. The two early 70's Camaros posted earlier look great. Here's another good example. I absolutely love this color (the Holden SSX concept).

I'm new to the site, but who ever was wondering about lime green, you will get a lot of **** for the color choice. I've had my 95 TA lime green for 2 years now and it never ends, but I chose the color and would again today if I was repainting! Even though people think it is "rice"!
Stick to your guns!

Color is your choice obviously. Do what will make you happy. I wouldnt mind a custom color TA myself The bright green that was photoshopped wouldnt be too bad if it had black stripes, tinted windows, black decals, clear corners, and black out the tail lights. That is what I would do if I went with that. I liked the green on that show camaro. Purple, orange, and yellow were also very nice colors to use. I always liked the purple they had on the 98's. Best of luck with the project.
