Re: Color

I like that color. It wont cost much to have the fender and bumper painted. A whole car would cost a whole lot more.

Re: Color

Keep it the same color, otherwise you'll have loads of work/money into it painting the door/hatch jams, engine bay, etc, or it will look like shit if you have 2 different colors. Is that a maroonish color, or like a burnt orange?

Re: Color

Looks like your 1/4 panel was fucked up too. Might as well have that done while you're at it.

Re: Color

You'll want the mirrors done, trust me. The only way the black mirrors look good is on a Talon because of the black top. I have the mirrors painted on my RS (burnt orange as well), but I've also got a custom paintjob so they may look differently than yours, I'll try get some pics though.
