Check out the Orange that's on the new Chevy Monte Carlo SS's ... hideous car, but incredible color with incredible pop in the pearl. I love orange on an FD.

Also, checkout the 2005 NSX blue and yellow. The yellow looks like a Lotus or McLaren yellow, with orange pearl ... killer color. And the blue has tons of pop, but without that annoying neon effect of the 350Z blue.

Hey Chris,

I think the black pearl is a great idea - you don't see many FDs that color.
It'll also help tie-in the CF wing.

Well for Christ's sake, you might as well have gone to Baskin Robbins, had the kid list all 31 flavors, and then go with chocolate. :-)
