Paint was so faded and car had so many dents like it sat near a golf course or something, that I decided to just fix the whole body. I am thinking about white, dark blue, or black. Interior is raven blue, so what do you guys think?

My brother has a Kia Forte with Electric Blue paint, that blue REALLLLLY stands out. It makes my mom's blue Beedle look faded.



I think that colour would look sharp as hell on our cars!

I think a dark blue would look amazing.  Nice mods on the engine.

Nice work so far.  I really like the wheels and stance...sounds like you have done some nice mods to the 2.3 as well.

As far as colors, I really like the blue that the Pontiac G8's had called Stryker Blue Metallic...I think it would really look awesome on a 4 eye.
