To be painted.. Yet which color?
Hello guys 
I'm in a pickle. My car is going into the body shop to get fixed after the wreck and its getting repainted. I've decided on the 17" Rota D2's in red with the polished lip as my next wheel set up, however I can't come to a peaceful agreement with my self on color. I'm either going to keep it Night Hawk Black Pearl or paint it Championship White. I've beat myself up over it for a couple weeks now so I've decided to get your guys' fine opinions. Let me hear it, what do you think?

champ white wit nighthawk black top =] i win!!! no more headache. but if you have a sedan then it would look weird. only get two tone if you have a coupe. jus my opinion. never thought a sedan look nice wit two tone.

It seems as though everyone is feelin' the white. It was my first choice but a lot of people keep trying to convince me how clean and amazing NHBP looks. Let me hear some more opinions! Car goes in the shop in ruffly three weeks.. as soon as I get all my parts here and all the extra stuff I keep running across. As for the two tone.. i never really thought about that. I've always wanted to keep it nice and clean with Champ. white paint (body, mirrors, handles, trunk trim) and CF trunk and hood with some nasty *** wheels.

i say STORM SILVER METALLIC from the Fit. that's a nice color. if you're already locked on either champ white or NHBP, i say go for white. Black is a "BITCH" to keep up.

Lol believe me, I know. Right now my car is black with white wheels.. I clean it literally every day. And white is just SO clean. I forget the members name on here but someone has a white EM2 with red wheels and chrome lip and a lip kit that is like my idol.

I have SERIOUSLY considered this option. I used to be obsessed with Phoenix yellow. I just didn't know if I really wanted to have a yellow car or not.

white looks too dull imo, i would never have a white car. its less shiny than even silver.

white always looks fast on a car, but black looks good at night. I would go with white just because you r able to see more dimension on it.

Copy cat.. no, its a common theme. I've wanted this theme since I saw a white DC2 with a JDM conversion and red GT3's. And that was like my sophomore year of high school, its been a couple years.

On a lighter note, I am seriously considering Phoenix Yellow.. Just trying to figure out what color wheel combo would look best on there, gold or red D2's with the polished lip?
