I say keep it black or go with something custom. I like NBM, but I don't think it's gonna be much easier to clean than black.....

NBM. Black is plain, boring, and very common. I will never own a black or red car.

I like both colors but black it my favorite and since the car is already black I would stick with that. Like others have said nothing looks better than a black car with some chrome wheels after and nice wax. Def get the wheels though.

I say NBM but I am not what you could call impartial...

No matter what color you choose your going to wash it at least once a week anyway so get what ever color you like the best.

I guess you haven't seen any of the now-classic 4th 'gen Firebird T/A commercials?

I say you should pick from one of the corvette colors, the f-body's are too common. Have you thought about Mag Red, Atomic Orange, Millenium Yellow or Velocity Yellow?
