Grabber blue is a good choice. The black roof would look good, too. Either way, blue with black accents needs to happen. I would have blacked out lights, black rims, blue calipers, black door handles, and limo tint the windows. And, of course, no spoiler. That's just me.

Definitely going to be nice when it's done. Keep us posted.

I like how everyone is like "do something different". But you better remove that spoiler like the rest of us! :)

American muscle was the first time I seen an sn95 in grabber blue, and I knew I wanted it. Wingless thought about it, but I like having something on the rear, stock for now. Later I'm thinking saleen. And a black roof would look good, but it would remind me of my 94 eclipse.

Limo tint might happen, and I might tint the windshield also, I know a guy who had a range rover sport he tinted the windshield looked nice.

Why paint the door handles Black when on a Blue car? That would look ridiculous. Like he ran outta paint to do the handles. LoL

No worries on running out of paint, I have almost 2 gallons. I know over kill, but this way if something were to happen to the car I know the paint will match!

I was thinking that the whole car in grabber blue is going to be A LOT of blue, so some subtle black details/trim, such as the door handles, might break it up just a bit. Just a thought. Either way, looking forward to seeing the car when you're done.

I get what you're saying. Like an F250 has black door handles.....but I don't think it would look right. Spoiler, taillights, part of the hood. maybe a fender stripe, or some type of side stripe.....

Not 100% on the black billet gas door, but it does break up the blue some, not the paint the some black stripes on the bottom of the car. Get my black billet wheels on, and get it back together, I think we went overkill taking it apart. But I really like the color.

I don't hate the fuel door but maybe if you left the outer ring black and painted the door grabber it would blend more. I have seen this on a red car and it looked good to me.

Mine has the brushed outer and black door and I think I may go body color on the door also.

I might have to try that, I bought it from american muscle, and the black is super easy to chip so it's getting painted one way or the other.

I think you need to re name it...

Looks great!


Very true, but I have no clue if I can change the thread name, even if I could I have no idea what to name it. I'm horrible with names!

So far we have everything except the spoiler painted, so I'm going to start putting it back together tomorrow night.

Almost done, need to get the swirls out of it. No big deal. Got the 315's in today, just waiting on the front tires now. And yes that's a camaro in the background there. Not mine!
