I think a metallic blue would look tight. I like the Acura baby blue as well.

A burgandy color towards RED...
Its a neet color as it keeps it cool inside. It disperses Infrared and Untra violet. Which keeps the heat down..

whatever color, do not choose bright red. I was forever getting in trouble in my bright red nissan 240. Course, now I have a giant silver mini-van :( so no more of those problems.

I used to have a red Subaru Impreza that was lowered and setup for performace. I would get pulled over all the time and given warning for no reason. But red cars to rule!

I heard that. I had a blue blazer for the longest time, and when I was getting a new car I wasn't expecting to get what I got. I was expecting something blue....but change is always good.
Now I'm in my Red Jetta :D

I think all of you are suggesting blue cause their user name is icy. It makes sense and is good advice, but I just thought that I would make a conjecture about the reasoning behind everyone's color suggestions.

If you don't care about cost get that color changing paint. It looks different colors depending on at what angle you look at the car. I am sure the people at the shop would be willing to help you out with what colors you can choose from.

Another problem that I thought of. How can one person describe even a shade of a color using text ? wouldn't an example be the best?? I certainly think so. I have attached a graphic of two colors that I think would look good together or seperate, depending on how much $ u can spend on the paint job.
