^really? i always thought that blue and white reminded me of airplanes such as KLM... wasn't very fond of the white though.
I bet you guys didn't know the paint job actually has some history. The red white and blue does infact represent America. In 1991 Hyundai entered and won 1st in the front wheen drive Pikes Peak class. The paint scheme on the Hyundai Scoupe Pikes Peak car was the exact same one as the official Formula 2 EVO II red white and blue.
I can't seem to find any pics of that car, but I do have a video of it. Maybe that's why I love it so much.
Some classic paint jobs are:
Peugeot 206 WRC (Silver Bullets)
Skoda Octavia (White and Green)
Mitsubishi Lancer (Red Marlboro paint)
Hyundai Accent WRC (Castrol Green, Red, Silver)
SEAT Cordoba WRC/Ibiza F2 (Yellow Cars, yay!!)
Renault Megane Coupe F2 (Yellow and Blue)
Hyundai Coupe Kit Car (Clarion Red, White, Blue)
Toyota Celica GT4/Corolla WRC (Green, White)
Lancia Stratos (Italian Flag, Green, White, Red)
Ford Focus WRC (Pink Glow, black, blue)
Volkswagen Golf F2 (Blue)
Subaru WRX STi WRC (Blue, Gold, Yellow)
Am I missing anything? All of the new cars these days have bland schemes and simply are not legendary. For instance, when you think of Tommi Makinen, you think of him driving the red Marlboro Lancer EVO VI... That's what a paint job is supposed to do, make the car.

I do agree the front F2 bumper is SEX.
I also agree the air damn on the hood looks weird and not very nice, BUT it was put in there to get homologation of the street car for the rally car, because in the rally car it was ment to acomodate THIS:
See the CF intake? Well... for that intake maybe I could think about putting it there...
As for the new bumper of that guy, I don't want to jump over anybody, but I think it is F-UGLY, thatone and any other Veilside resemblance (sorry all of you guys with that kit) I think they don't respect any of the silouette lines of the Tib and makes it look really weird, like an F16 crashed a cow from behind and went on it's a$$ somebody we all know very well said.
