Default opinions on color??

hmmm, i think you'll get real tired of seeing orange emblems. Ever consider getting the blue like the new zr1's have than get black blackbird stripes..now that would be sex right there ...but that would take a lot of guts to do because you never know how well it will turn out on a ws6..i dont know just trying to throw out some unique ideas haha. But also you could do the pearl white with stainless accents, a guy with an ss did it and it looked amazing. Here's the color i was talking about, sure you have already seen it

I think the atomic orange with the other things would look real good.
