Time for paint.... what color It is time to paint the 99 FRC... I am open to all options.... I am however not really looking at pulling the engine, so no matter what, the color of the engine bay will remain black... I was thinking of doing a MCM hood to while I am at it

I like the dark grey idea. Just keep in mind though, if you're thinking of black, it only looks good for about 5 minutes, then it's dirty again. Black sportscars are the meanest look; just so damn hard to maintain clean

Pewter with a Charcoal gray stripe would look nice! Thread Starter

I am not the biggest fan of pewter in pics.... in person I like it a lot but I dont really like it in pics.
So far I am really considering the following:
Lemans Blue w/ red grand sport stripes (the fender ones only)
Quicksilver w/same stripes but black and the lower part of the rear fascia black (the part with the louvers)
Or the Slightly darker spiral grey with the same setup as the quick silver

My pick?
Slightly darker spiral grey with the same setup as the quick silver. I love the silvers, but the spiral grey...nice look.
However, I have to say though, that 99FRC's color combo is one of the best looks I've seen in the C5. Props man!
Anyway J. any of your color combos that you're considering would look good! How's the performance upgrades going BTW?
Let us know what you decide! Always a tough choice on color combos for your girl, huh?

its rough... actually the performance end has been put on hold for a minute because I may be upgrading a little... I may just be getting the car ready to sell it instead, this just developed this morning, I drove by the local chevy dealership, and just happened to look at a couple of c6's.... and 3 c6z's... I talked it over with the wife, and we might just be able to swing a new z
