New Paint
I am getting a paint job pretty soon here. If you have any color ideas post em (No yellows!) I want my car to be a sleeper so I don't want anything that looks like a ricer. I am just toying with my current color just refreshed (I've got some chippage) or a sparkley kinda black. Give input or photos if had on a non ricey cool cavy color.

As I said in a previous post "rice" is simply an opinion! What is rice to you may not be rice to someone else therefore when you say no "ricey" colors you may want to be a bit more specific!

well, any color will look great if you have a nice body kit, well done paint job in exterior and interior.
like the best cavalier I have seen is a red cavalier with red dash. Also grey with white dash..
I think you should painted the same color but get a body kit, shave your antena and get an internal one..

I don't want a body kit or any of that crap. Hence not making it flashy. I want to run 330 horse out of this car by the end of the summer. With that said I do not want people to know I have that or even know I have anything other than an exhaust when they see me. I want a sleeper cavalier. As for antenna, who needs em? I have a CD player.

nice point, i though you wanted the car just for looks. At least you should get performance rims, because with those hub cabs, you can have a bad accident with 330 whp

Yeah CRJ.... No. Well, if you pay for it then I suppose... But only if you pay for it... With that said, you can make the check out to.....
My instructor at vocational school has a Cobra Mustang with that paint, that car looks real nice. But it does draw attention to the car, because, it does. After all, my whole outlook on the car is All Go, No Show.

Paint because I don't want it to rust out. The pain is starting to chip.
