new paint job ideas

ok so i'm in the military(been in just over a year) and i'm FINALLY going to get my huge enlistment bonus in just a few months. the main thing i have in mind to do with it is-repaint my car-! right now, it is stock jamaican blue right now and i really want something darker. the only idea i've had which i really like, is flat black, with a CF hood, and probably wingless. maybe get new side mirrors too and add some accents in another brighter color(orange?) to things like the interior, calipers, lights, etc. anyone with ideas/suggestions please help me get my brain to work. thanks.

jamaican blue is one of the rarer 3/S colors, and i like the uniqueness, so i would get a stock repaint if it was my car.
:2cents:

black and orange huh? you like holloween. stick with thte blue, or get a darker blue if you must.

the orange/black combo, lil odd imo. what's the interior color now?

the interior is white which i dont really mind. and as for the orange, that was just a though to throw out there. but i do really like the flat black idea. would getting rid of the stock color be heresy?

not herecy...but it does seem like kind of a shame to me since your car is fairly rare. If you enter your VIN in this link you can see exactly how rare it is...i'd be interested to hear back what it says.

but it's your car, your money bro. I do like the flat-black idea with accents, just dont go overboard with the accents. I definitely think it would be easier to start with a black car though...save you the trouble of pulling the engine and doors to paint inside the engine bay and everything.

I dont know how much your bonus was, but 1g VR4s are very reasonable, and black ones are common.

here's what it said about my car for comparison;

1 vote silver.

i vote leave it as is now that you've supplied that info. though it is your car, and you can do with it as you please.

flat black(didn't see 1st time) could be interesting. what if you used red instead of orange though?

red's not a bad idea but the whole black-and-red thing has been done alot. i'd like something thats kinda unique. what about dark(like midnight, royal,etc.) with the flat black?

midnight blue correct, not the midnight black?

some people might not notice the difference at night. imo i'd want to stand out at night as well as day.
