insurance just issues YOU the check for $x,xxx.xx and you can do whatever you want with it. you can even keep the entire check and not paint your car. or you can use the money for whatever color paint job you want.
the insurance company does not dictate what you do with the check. as long as you have a good relationship with whatever body shop you're talking to, you can paint the car bright pink for all they care.

This looks familiar...

This is not up for debate. YOU pick the color, it's your car. Asking us is just stupid.

...yeah we got that...doesn't matter.
This is subjective...everyone has an opinion. You need to decide for yourself, nobody else cares what color you pick.
I'm not trying to be a dick but rather avoid another thread like the one I posted above.

First of all, tell your wife to stop stealing other peoples parking spots.
Secondly, keep it the same color. Painting a car a different color correctly requires a lot of work and there will always be some little mistake that you'll notice which will bug the shit out of you.
Third, just for future reference, never-ever paint a classic car or anything special (such as 911, Ferrari, Lambo, etc) a different color as this will diminish the value of the vehicle.

Keep it the same color. WDP is a wonderful color to have, never heard of someone wanting to change that.
Also, why wasn't this asked in the 3G section or does someone have a sick sense of humor and moved it here

Safety cone orange gets my vote!
Your car, your choice. Whatever we say is irrelevant. What do you REALLY want more? Or rather what is cheaper.

Paint it any color that your heart desires, but either be careful where ya park it or have someone watch over the car after a fresh repaint. If it were mine, I'd just take the money and run to buy a gun before you're not allowed to own one for your personal protection !!!!!

Relax. No one's going to take away your ultimate right to bear arms.

Plastidip and pocket the cash.
How far off is the Lexus color you're considering? Might be able to get away with not painting the jambs and such if it's close enough, then you won't be paying any more than the insurance quote. If it were me though I'd respray it WDP. And then plastidip it.

If I were you, and the cost was the same, I'd go for the Kinetic Blue Pearl. I know it's not one of the choices you listed, but god damn, that color is beautiful. So is the red the type-s came in (can't remember the name of the color).
