Default Help me decide guys and gals...
Late july,early august I plan on having my formula painted and some of the minor body issues fixed. When I do I will be installing the Vfn 4in ram air pin on hood. I can't decide on which color I wanna go with though. Should I go back to the factory mystic teal,or gm sunset orange metallic? I love my factory color to death,but sometimes change is a nice thing. What to all of u think?

Unless you are going to paint everything (engine bay, door jams, hatch area and
respray the bottom) I say leave it mystic!

I plan on painting everything but the under carriage if I do change colors. The under carriage will be black coated.

My car is so pretty when its clean and waxed,but the som is also jaw dropping. All I have to pay for is paint and materials,labor is free. Its nice having a family painter. I can say im leaning towards staying mystic teal. There's not a lot this color around my area.
