So my cars not as nice as other peoples on here, it obviously needs a paint job and alittle body work. I'm trying to decide what color to paint it. I really like the color it is now but can't decide if I want to paint it that color or something else. What do you guys think? Oh and no makin fun of my headlights LOL. I'm going to clean them up just haven't had time to do it.

The car isnt that bad. I would paint it back stock. I like that color combo. I wouldnt go solid black. Black is over rated.
 
I agree, I really like the color it is now and I'm leaning towards paintin it back stock. I just dont want to paint it and then decide I like another color more. :ohdamn: Call me weird but I kinda like preal white.
 
im still sticking with white 2ga haha i love mine
 
I like white too but keep in mind the car is a purple.If she were to paint it white she would have to paint all the jams and the engine bay or IMO it would look wierd if you didnt paint the bay to match.I dont know about her but when I get mine repainted I dont feel like pulling a motor.LOL But if the car was broke or something I would:)

edit-all the he's are she's all the him's are her's :) Sorry i didnt even read your name on here LOL

Very true! It would look wierd if I painted it white and didn't paint the bay to match and I definitely don't want to pull the engine. Oh and I'm a she. :)
 
keep the stock color, just like the 1ga talons with those weird early 90's colors, these late 90's eagle talon OEM colors will look more unique the older the car gets so stick with the purple.

Also get rid of the thumbnail wing and go wingless, it will look so much cleaner.

oh, and i vote for painting the wheels black.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I like black alot so that's one of my choices. I'm sure people are gonna tell me I'm crazy but I'm not a fan of gold or bronze rims, please don't hurt me LOL :p also I acually like the wing but I think no wing would grow on me.

I like the wingless suggestion, I never even thought to mention that. So yea I vote stock color, wingless. And the bronze wheels were also a good suggestion. But I think the car would look good with the wheels like they are now, but lower it a bit.
 
paint it satin black with a gloss black hood roof and truck.
paint the rims gloss black.
remove the wing.
drop it.
