I think this is the hardest decision to make :picard: I want something different, but not too flashy. I am stuck between black, dark grey, 2 tone, or blue. Sonic blue is nice, but it seems like it is on every other car. I am really feeling the black and gray combos. My car will have prostars on it next year. Here is a far away pic of my car as it sits. Feel free to post up some cool ideas if you have any… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/IMG_0924.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/IMG_0924.jpg) #1 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/100_2926Medium.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/100_2926Medium.jpg) #2 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/3802294303_c56fcb31eb_o.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/3802294303_c56fcb31eb_o.jpg) #3 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/DSC01973.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/DSC01973.jpg) #4 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/DSCI1623.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/DSCI1623.jpg) #5 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/DSCN1326-1.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/DSCN1326-1.jpg) #6 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/SideStang.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/SideStang.jpg) #7 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/bntemple.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/bntemple.jpg) ---

two tone. dark grey and black … and maybe a different front end while you’re at it. ---

I like the dark gray but there is nothing as mean looking as a black fox. ---

#1 is my favorite followed by #7. Not a big fan of Sonic Blue on 5.0’s. ---

> [@Freek](#): > > two tone. dark grey and black … and maybe a different front end while you’re at it. no way why ruin a four eyed car. They are becoming super rare why would you want to make your car look like everyone elses. Thats my opinion i guess I like having a different looking car. ---

Your color spectrum needs widening. Green, white, yellow, orange, red. The four eyes would look sick with any of those colors while sporting specific black highlights. ---

I’m on the fence on the 2 tone. I love solid black, but that’s the easy way out. And the four eye nose stays! ---

extra dark grey, its a solid choice. Black is over done and over dirty. ---

#3 gets my vote, I like the dark grey and black two toned look. Otherwise, I would go with all black. Yeah it can be said that it’s over done and over played but it’s still hard to beat. ---
