Orange is a great color .. for a while. You need to decide if it will look good to you for the long haul. It's one of those colors that can grow tiring after a time. I wonder how much the repaint costs? thanks.

That's the way my car looks under certain types of street lights at night. Anybody else notice that about your Torch Red?

I like it. Any idea how much it would cost to have them paint a Torch Red coupe that color?

That might had been the "IT" color of 2004, just like "ferrari yellow" or "millenium yellow" had been the color of 2003. I had seen too many orange cars here in socal (NSX's, 350Zs, Silvias, and many Civics) that I got tired of that color.

I pick the blue.

That's Doc Holiday's car. A very cool and nice guy and a total car nut. This is one of many tricked out cars he owns. Over $6,000.00 in full quill osthich skin for the complete interior and convertible roof Plus every other goodie know to man. Notice the ghost flames by the wheel wells and side coves. Here are some pics of it at our clubs recent car show.
