Keep it:Tint the windows and buy some rims with a lip and it would look killer.

But really it's up to you if you don't like it change it your the one that has to drive it.

The only color you should ever consider is black and switching colors like that is way too much work. Pewter is the best color out there and worlds better than some boring silver ever new Accord and Prius has. Guess what color my car is lol...

Keep it... However I decided that if I ever did a color change, I'd paint it that Cadillac pearl white... but that won't happen for a super long time. Keep it LPM is the **** and looks classy.

Black is the last color I would switch to.

Red, purple, darker pewter kind of like dsg on cobras. Only ones I can think of I would switch to but pewter is perfect imo..

definately, i wouldn't go through and do a color change for a different shade. and also it wouldnt be a color that was oem, except for white. i was thinking about the caddilac pearl white, with all black wheels. i think that would be pimpen.

I would try and paint it a nonfactory color. I just bought a WS6 and decided to go with Stryker Blue (G8 color). I just get tired of seeing the same 4 or 5 colors on Ws6's all of the time. At the end of the day, it is your car.

By the way, to do a paint job the right way, color change is not a problem. Even if you repaint i pewter, you need to do the jams and **** too in order to avoid tape lines.
