I like yellow on our cars it looks really good, very flashy. I think that I am going to go with a very glossy blue.

save your money, a good paint job will cost real good money.... its not worth doing a crappy job. put the money into an engine swap. or save for an engine swap.

I know I have a good connection but im still paying alot of money, Why do an engine swap 60 k miles ST runs fine for highschool/college style for now, I need reliablility, my only other option is a DVD Player and somenice subs. I would prefer the paint job wink.gif

You actually want to paint your car a different color from what it is now? Won't it look kinda ghetto when you pop your hood and the inside sheet metal is all the original color?

Agreed, You've wanted a yellow car since you were 6, that alone should tell you that its not such a good idea.

The celi is one of the very few cars that white looks nice. dont spoil it.

Get something else for exterior styling, spoiler, splitters, lips, rims/tyres if you are so keen in spending money.

White.... a nice clean white car will attract WAY more attention than any of the other color choices.. the only reason that IM not repainting mine white is that I have always wanted a dark grey car.

I wouldn't recomend yellow to you man... its way too played out - no offense to neone with a yellow car but really it's over done.. same with orange and blue and just about ne other color there is.. but white is something you dont see alot when it comes to really nice cars wink.gif

thats just my $0.02... its your car so do what you want to man biggrin.gif

I definitly wouldnt want to paint my car anything other than my stock color because when you lift the hood and open the doors youll see the stock color unless your prepared to pay 5k for a paint job
