Help on color..

...I don't think I want black again, only because the car won't be garaged


what do you think of this Cyclone Grey (i'm torn because it's almost an aqua)

how about this Midnight Blue (don't know how I feel about blue cars yet)

The Cyclone Grey looks good, and the Midnight Blue looks okay.

Can you make ANY decisions without AZ?

I personally like the blue better, but if you are worried about keeping black clean, you will run into the same problem with the dark blue... Get the grey...that one in the link you posted is damn hot!

If its going to be sitting outside.....go with Cyclone Gray.

The blue is too dark if its going to be sitting outside, and will show everything.

I like the midnight blue personally. The cyclone is too similar to the color you have on your 1st Gen

I like the blue, but alot of that has to do with the fact that I have a red car now... Blue and Black are my next choices 'cause I'd like something different next time.

Really ?? That's fucked up... When I think Pontiac, I usually think white (or black).

When my dad died, he left us with 2 white pontiacs... I had a white tbird, and my brother still has his white supercoupe in the garage...

No more white cars for me...

i'd reconsider black. it really looks good when put next to all the other colors. it's not like there's road salt out there.

The grey color looks nice, but it is kind of pedestrian.

Midnight blue is so damn classy. Plus I think the GTO looks better in dark colors.

It is a pain in the ass to keep clean, though.

the red looks good, but if it aint your thing it isnt your thing

the cyclone grey does look very aqua, reminds me of that aqua color the first gen came in

the midnight blue although it looks ok it will still look dirty if parked outside and i swear to god thats the most common GTO color i dont think i have seen the GTO in anything else in real life other then blue / black

the quick silver would be my choice it isnt the damn honda silver that every civic comes in it looks darker they should have called the quick silver grey

quick silver / red interior for the win


and are you going to get the grille inserts / ground effects kit from factory?

Well I just thought that if she said Grey, and your dad said Red, then it's gotta be either Black or Blue

yea, midnight blue looks out of the question, there is only one local since it's only on 05 cars and it was a buyback, and they also haven't been able to "find" the car for 2 days now


looks like black
