Use BASF Extreme Ocean, and you will always have a car that is no particular one color it will be seven colors, all @ once....... :p 98 LX, Eibach`s .... ICWrims / Potenza`s.... Svt kit w /duals... BASF Extreme Ocean paint( complete color change).... Bullit gas door.... Fuba DSM rear mount roof antenna.... Pre 98 trunk.... Blacked out headlamps, W/ Eyebrows.... A6 Side markers.... Shaved antenna and deck lid lock... 4 wheel disc brake conversion.... Magnaflow resinator.... SVT gauge cluster....(Yes the SVT gauge has a O/D light).... Complete mesh grill treatment, Not gutter guard.... Titinaum window tint.... Burgman custom Power window & lock conversion.... More to come as soon as i complete this one. Yeah its a LX but it has a 2.5 and it looks better then your ricer

I was leaning toward a pearlescent silver as seen on the 2003 BMW M3 show car , but Charcoal seems to suit a CSVT a little better than that. It's understated, but not too much so. Perhaps a pearlescent gunmetal? I wonder what that would look like... .RMk.. '99 SVT, Silver Frost Open K&N w/ heat shield.

AND YOU COULD DO SOME CUSTOM PAINT SCHEMES ON THE ORIGINAL OR ALTERED COLOR. AFTER ALL VINYL IS ON ITS WAY OUT. 95 GL V6 5SPD. 40,000 MILES MIDNIGHT RED.
