    went color shopping today

    as much as i hate to do it... im thinkin the flat black has to go. so i want kind of a dark gray/silver metallic color. so i was flippin thru the paint books at napa, and in the PORSCHE section i found this!
    http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/a...hedralshot.jpg
    its called 'Atlas Gray Metallic'
    im kinda diggin it. however, when i came home and googled it, i found a few different shades, some werent even very dark at all. different companies had way dif shades, audi's(made by porsche) was very lite, but the porsche carerra's were nice and dark.
    so please leave me some comments and tell me what ya think!

    ^ Those look kinda like DC LS wheels...
    I've seen Atlas Grey Porsches in person before and, IMO, it's not that great a color. The flake is neat, it looks almost black until light hits it, but I think the Impreza color is a hundred bajillion times cooler. Either one would be sick really.

    Here is a color library for you to look around at, the chips look more vibrant in the books, but you get the idea. Go to a automotive paint and body supply store in your area and look through there books.
