DarKZer0 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 hey boys and girls I am currently adding all the exterior styling bits and pieces onto the car and will shortly do a respray once all is done. Few things still have to be done like bonnet, grill, extended and modified guards, flip up doors and maybe new deep dish rims but that will not affect the color decision anyways. Can you guys give me some opinions on wat colors will look good as I am trying to collect as many thoughts. I made a comparison image in photoshop so feel free to check it out and tell me wat u think... =) thanks guys Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/56321-r32-respray-color-decision/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

someonestolecc Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Nice photo shopping skills there. It's not an easy choice though all the colours you picked are mostly good looking. I voted red because as funky said it is so red. I also vote chuck those wheels and get some phatties Puh-leese post up pics when ya get the doors done etc!

DarKZer0 Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 hey 2 GU UP i just checked out your images. Is the dash painted or is it leather retrimmed? How hard is it to take the dash off and if leather re-trimmed did you do it yourself or someone pro? Thanks for opinions guys. I think I will go for something yellowish/gold like 5, 6 or 16. Just bought some yellow/black leather sports seats so thats the way to go. As for rims can it handle 19s or 20s without busting and ripping the guards from inside? I got TEIN suspension lowered I think 2 inches but is adjustable. How much could I get trade-in for my current 17s do you guys think?

DarKZer0 Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 how much is it to retrim the whole interior (exclusing seats) on r32? how did u manage to put GTR rear guards on a GTS? was it welded on?

aybee Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 i think no.4 looks the best. plus you would never see another skyline around with the same colour. yeah you must change the wheels. but even more importantly change the front bar. get something less in your face and that compliments the flows of the 32. then the car will look really tough. oh and dont bother getting 19s. 18s still look big on 32s plus they are not so stupidly priced.

funkymonkey Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 yeah, go camouflage styles, paint it in 4, get black semi transparent vinyls (rice, rice baby) and COMNDO numberplates... will look nuts. Optionally make th passenger side dor downward folding and put a sliding gun turret in where the passenger seat is.
