Ok in Sept my car will go in to paint. I have 3 paints that I want to get it done with.

1) stock rd2 gloss black (what my car is now)
2) stock GK(05) midnite blue
3) black pearl

My car will have ; zefiro turbo kit, Flyride vert doors, sliver rims( still need to pick out what I want) on the outside, and lowered(either springs or coilovers).

What do you guys/gals think I should paint it and do you have any other colors that you think would look nice. It needs to be a dark color tho I dont want to have to paint door sils engine bay ect...

that goes in to my next question.
Should i buy another Rd/RD2 and just mod this one over time or
Should i buy my dads truck(see in pic and he going to give it to me for $1)
and go all out on my RD2....auto-manul; S3 turbo for 2r2r; audio/video system.
(the truck runs great it gets MPG of 35 in town and 40 on highway.) the only problem is minor rust.

that truck gets some phenominal miliage. Diesel?

Honestly, you have nothing to lose with taking the truck.. if you don't like it, you can probably sell it for a couple hundred later.
