hopefully its black... that seems to be the only color you could get away with. i have changed the color of a car... and painting the engine bay, truck, and door jams was a pain. i wouldnt suggest it.

ya i no some people who got there car painted but they left the door jambs, trunk and engine bay the stock color..its like dark blue and the stock color was red, it looks BAD...you could get away with white or black i think, black would be better

don't get me wrong i like black.....but i want something different....plus with black it gets dirty too easy (with dust) but it's not for sure....i might just repaint it a shinier black
