Since i have a new bumpers and skirts on my car now I'm trying to figure out what color I should paint it. I don't know if I should keep it the blue or go with something wild like pink. Let me know what you guys think. Here are some pics of how it is right now.

i would paint it the stock color and put like a deep candy red pearl on it..so it changes color depending on light...
thats just my opinion though

if you do a complete color change, that means stripping everything if u want to do it right the first time. id keep it the stock color and change it up slightly. thats how i did mine. added alot of green pearls to the paint and it looks like a completely diff. color, but the engine bay still matches fine.
that red pearl might look really nice actually.

like them ^^^ i'd say keep the stock color, but have em add a deep dark blue or purple pearl instead.
and get the wing and taillights painted to match as well.

I say purple, and seeing as how you know someone that works at a bodyshop and just recently dismanteled there neon for paint you will have no problems taking it apart. you gotta love that kit, very creative. Purple, its your favorite colour anyway, but thats just my opinion.
later
p.s.
if not purple then keep it blue
we'll still take it apart for paint.

I agree, but some kind of unusual white. Off white, vanilla, some kind of pearl effect white or ice, alpine white etc.

did the side skirts match up or did you have to do some work on them? at first i could tell ther were on, i had to take a second look.

The side skirts went on perfectly. Just had to drill the holes for them. They are off a 02 or 03, 2 door cavalier.
There you go

brunswick green (darker british racing green) looked toight... they had a segment on top gear on British racing green, and i think those dark dark green tones they use could look quite good on our cars, and i doubt anyone has this color
