what colors go well with flint mica?? easy ones like red or blue, or more difficult ones?? also, how do the flint micas look under sunlight? i saw one once and it almost looked like there was gold glitter in the paint, but it might have just been me.

thanks guys!
flint mica is awesome. and im not just saying that cuz i have it haha. i had a bsp tc before and the flint mica blows it away. IMO silver can get boring.... but its clean. i had a hard time pickin out a color to go with flint mica. but found that blue, white, and yellow (not amber but Yellow) goes good with it. i have white interior lights and i think its awesome. i think im gonna stick with the white theme and run white cathodes under the dash and chairs and under the car/hood too when i get more money. but yea right after a good wash/wax flint mica is second to NONE. the color is so deep and rich its unbelievable. i cant help but smile everytime i wash my car haha. almost brings tears to my eyes

Sweet ride!

How much for the rims?

Thanks for the comment As far as looks it is very nice it doesnt stick out so it looks great, as far as sound it sounds great it has a deep sound to it, I would definitly recommend the Injen exhaust and its a very easy installation.
