so my car is finally getting a color change. its not a show quality job or anything but I would like to pick a nice color for her. I've given it some thought and I was gonna go with a dark blue, possibly a porsche color but someone pointed out that a dark color would hide the beautiful curves of the 6g celica. well, here I am back at square one, so let me know what you guys think.

I have until the end of the month to figure this out and come up with a color code. here are some colors I like and the direction I want to go in. I would prefer a color that comes stock on some car if at all possible, but if there is a code it can always be mixed I guess.

here is how my car looks with all the exterior bits on (ss3 front, stock sides, hiro rear, trd wing)

I like the color on the ABFlug Supra a lot. It looks more blue, while the others have a bit of purpleness(Is that a word?)

If you're wanting a blue color, but a lighter blue, there are many brighter, lighter blues, such as that color that's on some of the older A4s. I like that color a lot. Then again, that color would attract a lot of attention I'd think...which is something I really wouldn't want at this point.

IMO the BMW is too light....a little feminine actually. I like the blue on the MR2. The shades you have selected Pete are relatively unique and would make the celica look great. I also think bronze wheels would look awsome with that color.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.

Not seein any MR2's. I've seen a Bimmer, an eclipse, a supra with an abflug kit, an s2000 and an Aristo. I love the S2k's color.
