Ok as SOME of you may know, my car is under construction. Well it's been inspected, now it's time for paint. What color(s) do you suggest? I kind of want it a color an Accord doesn't already come in. And in the future it will have a carbon fiber trunk and hood.

What do you all think? Chops would be nice, here is the car as it sits now (diy blackhoused headlights with yellow high beams coming soon)

I would like to see a Balloon White sedan. That's an expensive paint job though. Who's doing the work?

And the chick in the bug looks to be checking out the car...or...you...? lol

The car lol, that's my sister.

And it can't be anything too crazy priced, he does good work though. It's my sisters friend actually.

By the way that bug is getting these wheels tomorrow (yellow was painted today)

I was thinking of a dark grey color, or possibly a brightish blue.

And NO see where they're yellow around the edge, that was red, she had the red painted yellow to match her yellow bug today, installed tomorrow.

I just noticed that yellow pinstripe on those wheels, it just looked like a highlight from the lighting before. Looks good.

Only blue I've seen on a sedan was ihazsnails's front bumper.
