Until you have a mildly modified 302 breathing through twin GT28s and Flowmasters, a capable suspension system, beefy brakes, and fat rollers with quality rubber that can keep it all stuck to the road, there is only one color for that car - flat black. And before any of you scoff at the thought of turbocharging a 5.0, let me just say it's an almost unearthly sound when it comes into boost. Perhaps one of the sickest cars I have ever seen. We're talking sub-ten second ET, 700whp range. Shit. Go with a pair of 20Gs. Be different. Think about it, you take the exterior flat black on the cheap for now, so that it looks all sinister and evil. Source your parts and then, when it's all ready to be installed, you strip the car down and give it a high gloss black paint job, maybe with twin stripes in any of the colors you've already mentioned - the slate blue/grey on the Eclipse, the 350 blue, the Mazda orange, even the deep, metalflake red - against the high gloss black, just about any color you choose will pop. Tie that super expensive color to accesories in the engine bay and cabin. This will give you a menacing, evil, black car for the CBCC, but all the tasteful splashes of color here and there will all tie in beautifully and really stand out. People will love the color, but the car won't be some wild-ass carnie ride. Oh yeah, and it will induce temporary blindness at WOT resulting in panties being dropped on command. Just my two cents...
