How about matte blue or grey? > [@Freek](#): > > Exactly what I was thinking. I know how much is a PITA black is to keep clean. And it’s way over done. Especially on 5ohhhhz That’s just something lazy people say, lol. My black Z was always clean… but I washed it every other week with quick details between. Nothing looks better IMO than a clean black car :tup: ---

Thanks for the replies. What I am leaning towards is DSG, black trim, and the riser part of the cowl black. Pretty much #6 with the body molding body color, and a darker gray. My old car was black w/ a viper blue stripe, it was nice. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/DSC00324.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/DSC00324.jpg) ---

I love taking colors out of context and making them work. my vote for you is honda/acura jade green. It’s like half way between grey and green and I think it would look unique but great on a older stang. pair it with black or bronze wheels. as seen on this RSX: ![http://images3.ecarlist.com/photos/1134_203139/640/00.jpg](http://images3.ecarlist.com/photos/1134_203139/640/00.jpg) and this repainted del sol: ![http://www.honda-tech.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=73846&stc=1&d=1254197252](http://www.honda-tech.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=73846&stc=1&d=1254197252) ---
