Need opinions
Tuesday, April 19, 2005 10:03 AM
Ok I need 2 opinions. I have one pretty set out but really unsure on the other. I know its my car and what makes me happy is what I should do blah blah blah. I'm just looking to see what everyone else says because it helps.

Here is my car


Now a guy at my shop use to work in the body shop for years and said if I buy the paint and help him he will paint my car for free. I have decided on Escalade Pearl White. I wanted something that did not come stock on the car, was not too flashy, but would not look stupid if you popped the hood and had a bright white engine bay. Plus I just love the looks of the color.
My original plan was to lose the rear deck wing and keep it plain. Leave the top black and do a CF black hood. Then with some gunmetal grey rims with a polished lip it would set the whole car off nicely. I'm having second thoughts though. Should I repaint the top black or paint it the same color as the car? (Escalade Pearl White)

My 2nd problem is I'm not sure what color I should go with on an accesent color. I want to do small accessories in either blue or red. Red is more flashy and stands out. But blue is kind of calm and cool and goes really well with white. I'm trying to keep everything just clean looking and not real flashy so I was thinking blue. What are your opinions?

It would be cool but if it was my car, In wouldn't get the carbon fiber hood unless you were going to paint that too. I think it will take away from the car. I would go with a black and white scheme.

I'm keeping my banner on my sig. Who ever thinks i'm serious about being the fastest talon can blow me. I dunno about the spoiler though. Just too boxy for my taste

I think the spoilers on talons make them stand out and look cool, along with the black top though it would probably look good anyway... also i say blue for an accent color... blue goes with everything, always looks good, and its not too flashy like you mentioned

I say you paint stripes on the hood, and paint a flag on top of the roof and call it a mini

as for spoiler, belive me, they look like crap wihtout them, the back end looks so @!#$ty.
heres my idea for my new talon. a dark grey with silver sparkles (can only see a little bit, and thats only in the light) with black roof, keep the spoiler and paint it grey, and gunmetal wheels, oh and bra on the front. dont steel it either lol.

I've seen them without the spoiler and they do look a little plain. I seen someone do it to a cavy here and it gave me an idea. I want to take a wing and lower it so it barely sets off the car. I just havent found one that really fits the car. Dont worry there will never be a 5ft wing hanging off the back of it =P
