    Green, bright JDM green. Like a sprite can. No hair if you don't. Honestly, you could powder coat them pink and have little cocks stenciled on the spokes if you wanted...with your upcoming power level, no one would be able to say a damn thing. Hell, go the extra mile and have Hello Kitty painted onto your hood. Let 'em know who is the boss around town...

    are you referring to Takata Green? Like these:

    And my favorite

    That color is sick on white cars, don't think a WRB could pull it off, but its never been done that I've seen so who knows.

    Maybe you just need a new set of wheels, Rich. But of all the standard colors out there, I think gunmetal would blend in well with your CF parts. Anyone have pics to add to this thread?

    I like that, the gun metal actually fits with the car pretty well, if it were my call that's what i'd go with, i just don't think any other colors would look as good. just my .02 Nice chop though i gotta get myself a copy of photoshop so i can screw around too.
