Wow, factory rice....

Dark blue or black are awesome colors. I would do a color you cant get a cobalt in though to be unique. If your going to spend the money you mine as well make the car special and do a color no one else is gonna have

Candy apple Red is gorgeous, a hard to describe green would probably look good, and a almost midnight blue would look hot too!

 

candy apple red *drool*

or that White with hod rod sparkles like the 2 tone cobalt posted a week back or so

 

Dealer rice actually....and a very acute case of it, that looks awful!!!!

If the stripes are your only problem, why not take them off, I would assume they're vinyl? Personally I like the rally yellow. You'd have to take the vinyl off no matter what, but if you do paint it I agree with going with a *TASTEFUL* color not normally found on the 'Balts.

 

I have always have had a thing for a dark candy cobalt blue color.

 

first thing i would do is take off those bumper strips.

 

is that stock?

 

That front lip looks awful

 

Yeh I feel for ya man...it almost looks like (I hate to say it..) a cavalier besides the rear end of course. I've seen too many cavliers in red, yellow, and blue with those damn stripes....

As far as painting, I don't think it is needed if your only complaint is the stripes....

 

hahahaha you got owned by the dealer

 

Ditto!


To the dealer,

To the buyer,

 

I have a yellow SS , so I am bias. Take off the rice stripes and you might like it. I like the rims. Colour change from Yellow is expensive. I like candy apple red also. I have a body shop next door to my shop and he suggested that a black car is better for the candy apple swith over because you can blend in the door jams and hood and trunk better. Unless you go for a really expensive strip down color change paint job (taking apart everything instead of masking) , the odd yellow line may show and look like ****. Just my .02.

 

Sorry to say, but I kinda like the way your car looks.
But i think like a couple people said changing the color would be expensive. Maybe just take off the stripes and keep it yellow. Yellow is kinda tight.
