Woohoo now i need your opinion.....:-)

Well i finally sold my bike today which means i can finish my RX7......

Now i need your help i was going to order the corksport body kit. but is you guys no of any others in that price range please let me know.

The big thing is i now need to decide on a paint color......the rims are silver i will put a picture at the bottom.......and the interior is burgandy. The engine compartment will also be painted.

So far my 2 main color ideas are
1) Gun Metal Grey.
2)Or really dark red metallic, sort of what blood looks like when it is coagulated it sparkles in the sun. But it might be too much red.

Both sound like nice. The red would look awesome if you got it so amazingly dark that it looks black till you see it up close in light.....not sure fi you guys know what I am talking about but Red and Blue look awesome like that, where there is just a slight hint of colour but almost black.

Then again solid black or gunmetal also looks awesome.....so I guess you can decide.

Yeah I would love to have my car painted RX7 silver. It was on a miata that was in an OLD Super Street. It almost looked like the polished aluminum lip on my rims.

I would have to say go with bright red or black.
