Are they painting the inside too?

I would just go with a darker silver. Almost metalic grey.

maybe flat/matte black would be awesome, like the gtr. I always wanted my car to look like that, kinda covered in foggy mist look.. just a thought

Ive always loved the blue thats on the RSX! I think you should keep it factory though. Silver is the fastest color lol

^ no, what if he wants to resell it eventually he will only be able to sell it to a tuner or some chit. imo of course
Id say maybe a different toyota color.. GFM(glacier frost mica), maybe Ultrasonic Blue like the IS-F and ISConvertables..

maybe matador red, since their arent too many red tcs

If you are going to do flat/matte black...imo this is the best that has come out (even though it's a focus)

I'm amazed at the fact that the insurance would cover such cost.
I mean what kind of keying are we talking about? Did they write an essay on every panel?

Either way, good luck man. I'd do a Hypnotic Teal tC. I've seen a pic laying somewhere around here. I think sinjai guy did it, and it looks sickkkkk.

you know your looking at around $2,000-$3,000 to do a complete paint job...and please for the love of god don't get a cheap paint job, you will lower the resale price of your car, and it will look horrible after a few years.

AT LEASTTTTTT that much, for a decent job.

The value of the car will drop anyway since the color will most likely NOT be factory, so yeah.
