Thinking about black, dark blue, or white. car will be one color including molding. Can somebody photochop some color ideas?
I'm digging thew wheel choice. What color you going with? And lets see under the hood!
You are going to paint it....right?I like the wheels a lot.Nice looking car,but I must say,I do like the stock grille better.The original blue was a nice color as well.What's in store for the Bird?
Paint was so faded and car had so many dents like it sat near a golf course or something, that I decided to just fix the whole body. I am thinking about white, dark blue, or black. Interior is raven blue, so what do you guys think?
Blue.....some shade of really nice blue.
My brother has a Kia Forte with Electric Blue paint, that blue REALLLLLY stands out. It makes my mom's blue Beedle look faded.

I think that colour would look sharp as hell on our cars!
I think a dark blue would look amazing. Nice mods on the engine.

I want to keep it fairly stock looking, so the smog puppies's dont mess with me. pics....

Its not "SICK!" like my 87, but its quick!
BLACK!
Looks amazing. Love the grill.
I understand that. I still have family in Cali. Looks nice thiugh. I like the idea of the holes in the air box.
Nice work so far. I really like the wheels and stance...sounds like you have done some nice mods to the 2.3 as well.
As far as colors, I really like the blue that the Pontiac G8's had called Stryker Blue Metallic (http://"http://v8muscle.net/images/Thumb%20lg%20Dave%20G8%202.jpg")...I think it would really look awesome on a 4 eye.
The deep dishes and grill are a great touch
I'm loving it...actually kinda jealous!
I vote for blue...that electric blue looks good...
Nice work on your Bird! I agree and really think the electric blue would look great on it!!
I'm assuming you're running the 275's in the rear? What's on the front? 245's? 40 series?
245/45/17 up front and 275/40/17 in rear. I was going to go with 315's in the rear but they are not easy to find. Plus I didnt want some clown holding me by the short hairs with a high price if I got stranded somewhere with a flat. Both size tires are easy "on the shelf" tires at any tire shop. Not to mention the body mods I would have to do if I went to 315's. No thanks!
Midnight Blue
Lovin' it. That's the combination I want.
It may only be "quick" to you but I bet its plenty faster than mine.
