I like yellow on our cars it looks really good, very flashy. I think that I am going to go with a very glossy blue.

save your money, a good paint job will cost real good money.... its not worth doing a crappy job. put the money into an engine swap. or save for an engine swap.

I know I have a good connection but im still paying alot of money, Why do an engine swap 60 k miles ST runs fine for highschool/college style for now, I need reliablility, my only other option is a DVD Player and somenice subs. I would prefer the paint job >>

i agree- my first car was yellow- and it drew attention from everybody... i'd say white again, with mabey a pearl coat since you have chrome wheels...

You actually want to paint your car a different color from what it is now? Won't it look kinda ghetto when you pop your hood and the inside sheet metal is all the original color?

The celi is one of the very few cars that white looks nice. dont spoil it.

Get something else for exterior styling, spoiler, splitters, lips, rims/tyres if you are so keen in spending money.

White.... a nice clean white car will attract WAY more attention than any of the other color choices.. the only reason that IM not repainting mine white is that I have always wanted a dark grey car.

I wouldn't recomend yellow to you man... its way too played out - no offense to neone with a yellow car but really it's over done.. same with orange and blue and just about ne other color there is.. but white is something you dont see alot when it comes to really nice cars >>

thats just my $0.02... its your car so do what you want to man >>

*grins* I havnt been on the board in about 3 days, and I came back and saw Nekolis and Neverstop both said what I had just agreed with, im gona keep it white, thanks for your input guys. I realized I bought the car, cause i loved how it looked, with the white paint. So I think im just gona reroute the money into projectors... so its still just clean, I love stock celis >> *p.s. Anyone know of a good place in usa for projectors where they dint wait 8 months >>* ive been looking for a while but I stoped, loookiinn again, im gona order in the next week I hope.... thanks again guys!

I definitly wouldnt want to paint my car anything other than my stock color because when you lift the hood and open the doors youll see the stock color unless your prepared to pay 5k for a paint job

Yeah I could have gotten it for 2k with engine and everything done, but besides that, PROJECTORS ON THEIR WAY >>
