Stock color and think of some cool black accents for it.

Depends how much money you want to spend. Its cheaper to stay original but if I was to change the color of my car.....
It would have to be the new orange on the vettes.

I didn't want to have to get the door jams, etc repainted that is why I'm sticking w/ silver. Originally I wanted a blue flake but the body shop told me that w/ silver, the only color that really flakes good is silver in the silver and that the blue wouldn't flake as well. Also, this should be pretty custom, I have never seen another one with silver and silver flake. I'll post pics when it's all done, may be a month or so :-\.

I should have the car back soon and will post up some pics. I had the option of removing the side moldings but my work parking lot is always crowded and that extra sleek look just isn't worth the additional door dings.

LOUD NOISES!!

What are we yelling about?

Anyways, the silver flake sounds like it should be cool. Use a good camera to get up some good pics when you're done.
