That is kind of a vague question. At least give us an idea of what you like, or what you're leaning toward.

How about pink with purple flower flames running down the side? Seriously though, what color is it now? What colors are you considering?

I kind of like this color: http://photobucket.com/albums/v709/M...=mr2yellow.jpg

here is another one: http://photobucket.com/albums/v709/M...nt=wheels1.jpg

I think I saw one in sport compact car a few years ago that was bright orange with c/f hood, c/f tom's scoop and black or gunmetal rims. Looked sexy as hell. That might be the direction I go when I win the lottery.

now lemme ask you a question.....you're not reeeeally serious about that question right?? Suspension does not have anything to do with how far your wheels stick out. You can add spacers and buy new studs to compensate(do not recommend). Buy wider rims.

if you paint it red... just remember that red cars are like, 90% more likely to get pulled over than other colored cars so uh, keep your radar detector on

IMO, id go with the lucifer color, looks real mean however i DO like that yellow. it really brings out the agressiveness in the car if you get the mods right. As a default though, id go with Lucifer red

I agree with MRQ. Urban myth. You are 90% more likely to be pulled over if you are speeding hahaha. Bright colors do draw attention, but if you're not speeding, then all is well. Besides, I see a lot more cars other than red being pulled over.
