My friend who owns a body shop place is entering my car in the upcoming april car show, now only a fw people here (around 100 in the entire country) have eclipses and none of them with any sort of bodykit. So he wanted to enter my ride with the blitz kit.

problem is stock black ain't very show appealing, any other color suggestions? considerations are the following:

hood will remain carbon fiber
rear spoiler will be carbon fiber mugen style ( the one with the posts at the edges, not in the center)
Tailights are red/amber
headlights are 95
sponsor stickers to be used will be silver film as much as possible
car will be on 18s
 
yea Kawi Green...

My sister just gave me a nice idea, anyone ever seen RB26DETT powered supra in super street? it has the signature Top Secret Gold, I don't see to many gold cars around, stock or otherwise.
 
we'll black is defintiely out, no flashy enough, stock look here dont get much attention,not good for sponsors if no one notices the car.

I think the difference between wrx blue and r34 blue is that the wrx blue is metallic, wile the r34 is a high gloss flat blue
 
How about black with a blue pearl mixed in...so your car has a bluish tint at certain angles. Gunmetal might be cool too.
 
I came across an old super street where they featured the HKS RSX, dats a nice deep shade of blue with a carbon hood and the sponsor stickers look like dull silver

agreed. and neo racer's idea about using black w/ a blue peal mixed in sounds kind of good. you should have your friend mix up a little bit and see what it looks like. maybe be a little heavy on the blue too. black is so... bleh. its not even a color. its a tone. :p
