I like the sti blue or metallic red. Dude I am not sure about 19 or 20 in rims but it is your car if you like that then cool, I would say lower it with some 18's or somethin, like some ver shiny chrome ZR1 style rims.

I really like the car makes me almost wish I hadn't bought the turbo thunderchicen which needs paint and an interior make over and suspension work. Good job man, car sounds like it is coming along famously.

well i just need to decide on the color to order it

its between hugger orange, like a candy red , like an STI blue, cyber gray, black or same color
yea i love how the vinyl looks, but nothing compares to how paint would look

did you ever meet rocky from the club? he has a 3rd gen, it's a deep blue color... sort of like sti blue, it looks hot.

candy red hands down, you'll see every beauty line that car has and it will have some awesome shades in different lights. I was gonna do a metallic red on my car, but I ended up choosing the red chose(looks orange but its actually red)

thought about it being black but
i remember it looks so nice when its clean but
when i had my 2000 ss an i washed it an next day it almost
looked like i hadnt...

an as for my wheels ima get some 17x9.5 c5 z06 chrome wheels from julio on here...

an as for the color i think ima end up doin something close to my color instead
since im NOT stripping the whole car i don't the firewall an all engine bay be a teal color

so i think ima cancel that hugger orange, plus im not sure if it would go with chrome wheels..
