Color Schemes

This summer I want to get my MR2 painted proffessionally. But im not sure which color scheme I like best unless I see it in person. Photoshop just doesnt do enough justice.

So, I have spray-painted my car the 3 different color schemes that I like (over the course of a few months of course). I wanted to see which what you guys think looks best.

SILVER





SILVER & BLACK





BLACK




So which one should I paint my car when I go to get it done Proffesionally?

hmm

I think I like the Black the best, but the silver and black makes the car look really nice.
With all of this work u are doing to the car maybe you should change the dask, side panels on the door, headliner, carpet, and seats too.... no reason to have a fast as hell car thet looks nice on the inside and yet has this ugly azz interior ya know??

Ive been thinking about that. I eventually wanna find a mostly intact MK1 from the junkyard with a black leather interrior. I found one, but the doors were gone, so the interrior was trashed.

I may have it custom upholstered idk. but that comes after the 3SGTE swap, Paint Job, and Suspension Mods.

...

I don't understand how this craze with the Black wheels got started, I have always hated Black wheels with polished or chrome lips. They only look good on specific color cars, and IMHO I just hate them.

Yea only certain cars really need them. When i get around to it I just wand some simple Painted 5-Spoke Rims with a deep lip. I dont know what color I want, maybe just silver. I was thinking, If I did paint the car black, I may just make the entire car black. (Black wheels, Windows, paintjob etc).

Black is cool but it will hide details of the car like the side vents. IMO they should be visible.

I like the silver. I never really cared for the 2 tone MKI look. The black would look nice also, you could go for the sinister look.
