Heyo!

So i'm going to paint my car because is already on the shop repairing some body damage that the car had when i bought it. Right now is a pewter grey with stock front bumper, crappy oem wheels on it, a nissan r34 gtr fiber glass rear wing and spec r side skirts and rear spats. So basically I'm going to change the bumper to a type 2 chargespeed one, some te37 wheels (perhaps!) and a r34 GTT rear spoiler. I'm trying to decide the color of the car now (not keeping pewter grey)... so far i've come across these three colors that i pretty much like them a lot, but would like to have your opinion on those, and how you think these would look on the s15 (stock s15 colors are not that great imho)...

R34 Bayside Blue (http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/1473/lineratpekw5.jpg)
99 Altezza Dark Blue Mica (http://www.toyotareference.com/colors/lexus/lexus_is_01_8N8_07.jpg)
Rx-8 Velocity Red (http://www.friday-ad.co.uk/PhotoAds/TW/Large/TW137030E.jpg)

So what do you guys think? any other suggestion that you may like? can be another color, or other tonality of these colors!:D cheers!

the altezza blue is nice,i love bayside but think it should be left to the gtr..
hmmm, yeah the altezza blue i think will look really cool in the s15, but i saw a 240sx in bayside blue the other day and was blown!
Midnight purple?

actually there are several reasons why i'm not sticking with the pewter grey, even tho that is the best color that the s15 brought. The wheels in the pic are not the ones i have now, those are old ones... currently i'm using the oem ones but i want to change those to a more bronze, dark colored 18 inches rims.

S15 SILVIA

Know it's only my opinion, but don't think I would pick any of the above. Bayside is lush, but wouldn't choose it for a s15.
midnight purple is lovely, but very expensive, and there are a few variations of that colour.
How about a bright silver like on the Nismo cars?
I really don't know what I would choose myself.
Have you got a pix of your car with the r34 GTR rear wing?
Sounds quite nice.

If you are set on repainting it, mg trophy blue is gorgeous for a stock colour, I always wondered how it would look on an s15....
