Default Should I change the color?

I have a 2000 silver/red that needs a little bodywork and I've decided to have the whole car repainted. Would you keep the same color or change to one of these?

I'd keep it the color you bought unless you really want a different color more. Sounds like it's more your preference thans ours. However......out of the list, the color I like best is MC Blue, but I don't think it would go with the red interior.

As much as I love MCB, those red seats are going to look strange in it. White is probably your best bet.

If you change colors it should take $3500 or more to do it right and that will not include the engine compartment. I'd stick with the original - but it's your car and you make the payments.

Well, I woulda said Monte Carlo Blue, but since you do have the red interior, changing the interior to black to match the Monte Carlo Blue would be too much to ask.

Stick with the Silver. Silver's cool, too!

Hope it turns out all right for you.

BTW, if you do decide to get MCB - there's someone in the Market forums that wants to trade his black seats for red seats. If you do a swap with him, he's willing to give you some cash for them. The black seats will fit MCB perfectly. So go for it

yeah if you can find black seats...definitely go with the monte carlo blue! it's such a beautiful color...and you'll be very very unique. i say go for the MCB...you'll be the envy of many US s2k owners.
