3089, Should I Change Car Colors for $800 More? Posted by eclipse804, Apr-17-01 07:46 AM Hey guys. just looking for some opinions. Would you spend an extra $800 to change car colors inside and out? I'm already going to get a full kit painted plus fenders. But right now I can't afford anything after all I spent on my car. You think I should save up so I can change the whole color? | |

3091, RE: Should I Change Car Colors for $800 More? Posted by Michael_97RS, Apr-17-01 07:55 AM Unless of course you want to sell me your side skirts and door caps. Then they are painted already for me and you can paint it any color you want ;-) | |

3092, RE: Should I Change Car Colors for $800 More? Posted by eclipse804, Apr-17-01 10:01 AM Hehe I "might" actually sell the skirts, but I'm keeping the door caps with my blitz type 2 side skirts. My stock side skirts were actually painted less than a year ago because they had some scratches from a curb, so they are in near perfect condition. I'll let you know if I want to sell it, but its kind of a hassle to deal with shipping... | |

3093, RE: Should I Change Car Colors for $800 More? Posted by Michael_97RS, Apr-17-01 11:04 AM Hey, they don't look 'bad' without the door caps. So if you sell let me know. I'd love em. | |

3094, RE: Should I Change Car Colors for $800 More? Posted by guest, Apr-17-01 01:21 PM I like the dark maroon too....obviously (look at my car). If you put some nice pearl color in it it would be really nice!! | |

3095, RE: Should I Change Car Colors for $800 More? Posted by icjeclipse, Apr-17-01 11:09 AM Stay with the dark gray but add some more blue pearl to it. And then get a Carbon Fiber hood with some blue pearl with the extra money. | |

3096, RE: Should I Change Car Colors for $800 More? Posted by eclipse804, Apr-17-01 12:41 PM That's a good idea, but you know what, it costs the same to paint the car as just to shoot a clear pearl. That's because you still have to sand down the whole car and tape it up. Its maybe only 100 dollars cheaper for the paint materials, but overall, its still almost the same cost. So I think its more worth it to either stay the same and save money, or change completely different than stock... | |

3098, RE: Should I Change Car Colors for $800 More? Posted by icjeclipse, Apr-17-01 01:40 PM Me and you have the same tastes. I want Altezza blue but i also want a light metallic blue. I can't decide. I am getting my wheels powdercoated graphite, what color looks better w/ dark wheels? Oh well, we can talk this weekend. | |

3099, RE: Should I Change Car Colors for $800 More? Posted by eclipse804, Apr-17-01 05:14 PM Ya its really hard to decide. One part of me wants a custom color, then another side doesn't want to deal with the hassle and costs. Also, even though the engine bay is painted, we don't remove the entire engine so parts of it will still be the stock color. Ya hopefully there will be some freshly painted cars this weekend to check out - I haven't been there in a while. If anyone wants to join us, me and Ian are meeting at the body shop in El Monte on Saturday. E-mail me at eclipse804@hotmail.com for more info... | |
