Need opinions everyone...Going to paint the CL

What color do you guys think will look good on my CL. keep in mind that I have chrome rims. Right now the car is black and I was going to get the hood, front, and rear bumpers sprayed but for a few hundred bucks more I can paint the whole car. So what do you guys think?

yeah, otherwise you'll look like the civic si blue (which is nice, but darker would be better for the chrome wheels)

hot pink baby!, nah foreal, that s2000 color looks phat, id go with a midnight blue to match the chrome, but i think silver rims would look nicer with that blue

getting the whole car repainted the color it was is MUCH cheaper. changing the entire color (engine bay, inside doors, trunk, etc MUCH MUCH more expensive. thats why i backed out. $7000 for audi tt grey pearl.

I've been thinking about re-painting my car too. Right now I have a '97- Inza Red I think. It looks tight but I want it darker , almost black. I think with chrome rims a very dark "merlot" sort of pearl red would look really nice. I might just get House of Kolor to mix me up a special batch, that shit gets really expensive though. But I love my car and I think it would be worth it. That's my three cents.

i know that no guy wants to drive a purple car...but i think that would look sweet!!

my friend frances...that's her mirage/lancer conversion...i love her car, it was so awesome to see it go from a stock mirage to a widebody lancer.

but i also LOVE that color....i dont think it would look good on a cl w/ chrome rims...but w/ just regular silver or gunmetal possibly!!

good luck.

Go with Roush Orange. Its a little brighter than 350Z orange. That has to be the all time sexiest color ever put on an american car.
