in my opinion, you cant go wrong with red, its sporty but not too flashy. code 3L2 red looks very nice as it is a darker red. whenever i park next to other red cars i always notice how much better the darker red looks. heres a pic of my car with 3L2, just ignore all the bugs and you get the idea.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

Yellow. Paint it Yellow. I have only seen 2 factory yellow celica's in my life, one is Coomers, and the other is a hatch I almost bought before getting my black one.

Black is also a good color. Okay.. not really "good" but I find it more rewarding. Whenever I wash my car I always take a step back and I am amazed how good it looks. Now the only problem is keeping it that way...

I've seen a fair few yellow ones. But I wouldn't suggest painting it the same yellow as the stock one, however it's not very bright and makes the car look faded or something, at least that's my opinion.

^ yeah i noticed that too, 3L2 is dark, i like it, but i think id rather have a brighter red. Idk im still debating colors, but i wont be painting for a while.

Back on topic- Of course i like red, or a nice blue. I have only seen a few yellow or green celicas too...hmm

I would go with the charcoal Scion TC color. It's very eye-catching when it's clean. I think the name of the paint color is flint mica.

I have to agree with the Red guys, a really dark red is sexy. On the 05 Yamaha R1 there is a red that is beautiful. they also have a blue that is sexy!
