dark grey sounds awesome! im practically replacing my front end too and i am going with a super dark blue i found! i think the dark grey, or a deep gunmetal look would be awesome! g/l

[punkuup5150]

i was thinking a gunmetal with a silver flake but i cant finda paint chip i like yet.

that gunmetal w/ a silver flake sounds really good too

[Redline08]

[punkuup5150]

i think my favorite paint i have seen (from pictures at least) is presure2's ride. That dark blue is super sexy. I want it...

[vsideboy]

by st205 I mean the 94-99 GT4 mate.

I've definitely seen a picture of one in the dark grey before but I can't remember where I saw it.

Not sure if it will be on here under the unofficial pic of your car thread?

[BigAl_UK]

The grey which you are referring to Dan came in after 97 on JDM Celicas - it's also when they added the dark metallic green
