Default For those curious about the "Orange"

Orange has been showing up so here are some great shots of one. I LOVE the look, its really bold. I am still considering a full paint (Candy blue or something else different) This is the same company that is doing my car that did this car...talk about quality.






I would post larger pix but my server can host them.

That is a gorgeous C5, and that orange looks amazing on it. Love the Specter Werkes rear fascia too. Do you happen to know the name of that particular shade of orange?

On a show car, sure. But Orange is definitely not my favorite color for anything I'd want to drive.

Pacethis and myself are both going for a repaint. I am so confused. I love the look but my family and GF hate it. This is a big change and its really hard to decide. Love hearing comments.
