Default change the paint or not??

http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w.../Picture-2.jpg

I am thinking about changing the paint too comp. orange do you guys think that i should or leave
it the color that it is?? Yes I have been wanting to change the wheels as well.
the car is still under construction. this is what i have done so far....
1) forged lower end W/ a bore of 0.20
2)pi swap
3)175 shot (wet) nos system
4)frame connectors
5)safety loop on drive shaft

the car has 11-1 compression but in need of gears and suspension I also what to upgrade the pi cams as well.
the looks of the body and wheels was the wayI bought itI traded my S-10 blazer for it..

You know, if you change the paint color then do a complete job which includes removing ervery damn thing - all plastic, motor, trim, on-and-on... Nothing like seeing a blue car on the outside and seeing a green engine bay or under trunk surface, ya know?

Your car's color is nice as is. If having problems with the paint (blemishes, swirls, etc...) just try and get it fixed w/ original color, imo.

yeah I know about the complete color change thing..
But it would cost 2500 to do the complete change.
or I could go back with same color for 17-1800.
that is from 2 diff. shops. soI have beenundecided.

I'd keep it the same color, get a new normal spoiler & a better digital camera. [8D]
