    Good 'ole Canada eh!
    I Think silver and black would be a good color combo. I've never seen it before however so I'm not sure what it would look like.

    O.K. not red, but I saw like titanium frost with a little bit darker grey and I wished I would have done it. It was on a mini-tubbed coupe and I think the pics of this guy's car might be on here or the corral, maybe someone else will know the car that I mean,guy runs TS.

    O.K. how about dark emerald green metallic and titanium frost,I think it's probably going to look best with the green on bottom gray on top.

    I LOVE that idea! However, you have to paint the window moldings, antenna, door handles and locks with satin black to make it look like a factory job. That's just my opinion so don't take it seriously.:)

    i actually like the color red u guys have, but other then that im not a huge fan, i want it to look mean and agressive, but not over done if u know what i mean. For some reason a dark dark green on bottom, and a nice metallic black on top seems like what i want to go with, im not 100% on it yet tho, the cars also going to be getting a set of pro stars instead of the more common draglites!

    ya know ,that looks better than I thought it would. I still think the two toned gray would be sweet.

    I think that if you wanted to keep the green than probably the gray with it will give you that pop, and show the green off better. That is a sumped tank that I ordered with my Aeromotive fuel system.

    I was trying to decide on a color for my car also. The factory color is light blue, I thought about painting mine the opposite of the blue and black one posted a few threads up. I understand about red, I love the color but its every where, I'm looking for something unique. Trbofox, that is one slick paint job you got there. I wish I had mine done already, not looking forward to taking it all apart to change color.
