I bought some silver paint that I thought would look good, but then I pulled out the decals and saw they mosty are yellow, D'oh! Anyway, I don't think yellow and silver will go well together. Any suggestions? I don't plan on using all the decals, but I will use som yellow ones.

I've seen a few in silver, and they look pretty good with the yellow decals. The Impreza looks great in silver by itself, and the decals don't detract too much from that.

Blue is their "natural" color. I would suggest a dark red or black.

i always wanted to buy a body and not paint it, only put on decals. i think it would look badass, but ive already spent over $100 on bodies, so i would rather buy hop-ups. i may do this in the future though.
What about a bright orange, or green? or even black. They go pretty good with yellow.

Hmmm, is it going to be a street look, something you see everyday, or something you would see on racing rally?
I would suggest being different. Everyone has seen the classic blue, and everyone has seen black. I would say be different and try something new, something original.

Can you post another pic with the hood open now that you have the CF hood? I wanna see what it looks like from the bottom.

Cool... does that rear facing hood scoop have a screen of some type over it? If so, why?
In this case, is the hood fiberglass with a CF applique, or is it actually CF?

It has a screen. I guess to prevent things from falling into it when it's sitting still...
It's a combination of fiberglass and carbon. Carbon on top and fiberglass on bottom. I asked a Kaminari rep about it (the company that makes it), and he said the reasoning was that pure carbon is too rigid for a hood, since it has stresses on it at speed. Fiberglass will allow the right amount of flex while being stiff, and it will allow you to put inserts into it to attach the latch and hood hinges.

OH, you mean lime green like this? Yes, the fender has been cut out to allow clearance for tires under load, plus front spoiler/sideskirts completely cut out so it wont scrape the ground. :D

It'd be hot in a dark grey, would make the yellow stickers really stand out. Maybe look here for some inspiration: cardomain (http://www.cardomain.com)

well when they are found in the wild (a rarity-be sure not to get too close) they are usually blue. they can, in even rarer cases in their true natural habitat(at the track), be found in white, red and silver.

I pass at least 5 blue ones every day. And I usually only drive 10 miles back and forth to work. I have only seen one red one in person. Ever.

I am well known for creativeness, so, i would probably get a pair of XXX's 8x11 CF stickers and go wild! :cool:
