ANYTHING BUT BLACK. It is the most unforgiving color and you will want to shoot yourself. Unless this is a garage queen go with grey or stay with blue. Even if it is a garage queen when you wake up the next morning there will be an ever so thin layer of dust barely covering your whole car.

Mine's black and it is damn hard to keep clean. That being said, I keep mine a garage queen, it's not my DD and only has 30k on her. I wash it no less than every 4th time I drive it. But at the same time, a CLEAN black car, can't be beat in the looks department.....

the cyber grey does look really good i saw dsg hawk on here with black accents and i hope the guy isn't reading it, but i didn't like it all it's like the grey and black clashed cause they were too dark. I shoot black all the time black is the best looking color on the road when it's clean. But taking into that i live in sc so black is not as bad as northern or coast cars

1998LS1SS, that looks great. My TA is black with gunmetal rims, it is a good combo.

Viper Steel Grey is nice, and looks similar to the Cyber Grey with silver mixed in. That way you have a factory color. Here it is on a trans am (not mine).

Thanks but it isn't mine, I found it on google. I have a black TA with gunmetal rims. The combo of grey and black is alot meaner than black and black IMHO.

If I was painting my car I would definately go grey.
