noooooooooooooooooooooooooo ! ...

not a fan of that at all when it have a billion colors to choose from , thats like wearing a dull black outfit everyday no matter d occasion ....

IMO a matte black wouldn't take well to the nice straight lines of a car like this unless you have a super aggressive kit, a powerplant from Hell and have it properly stanced on some deep-dish rims with stretch-fitted rubber. Magazine material basically...you hafta go big if you're going that route.

Have you considered the more classic look of a factory colour option from that or another era or vehicle?
take for example these colour chips for FJ40

I could see a TE71 looking good in factory Mica Red and rims like this tho.

See where I'm goin' with it?

old skool and square body car in mica red with lots of clear, but not as dinky-looking as this

nice work, but i prefer a modern colour to raise the lines of the car......

chinamanvvti · Postby **chinamanvvti** » October 14th, 2011, 2:24 pm

what colour all yuh suggest

Postby **Hook** » October 14th, 2011, 9:22 pm

but ah jus said "mica red" breds

once it doesn't look gloppy like bad nail polish, I find it looks real good on older square-body cars when the paint job is real clean

yeah considering new colour also Hook u know who cud bring theses ole skool jdm wheels for me liking the 15's with the offset

droppa · Postby **droppa** » October 17th, 2011, 2:29 pm
