Default Gettin new paint! What color?? *pics*

Went to Cecil County Dragstrip last night with a bunch of friends, parked in the grass all the way down at the finish line. My buddy rolls up with his bronco, hits the brakes and slides in the grass right into the side of my car [>:]Needless to say, its fubar'd up. Monday it goes to the body shop for an estimate on ALL the body work (not just the part he hit) and new paint. Now heres where I am torn. Should I stay with white, or switch to another color? I need something to go with my black Ponies.

Of course. We decided to not use insurance, because we both had liability and his insurance rates will sky rocket. I should have a rough estimate Monday afternoon. What color do you suggest?

i say white man. i love how mustangs look white and black, but i think your black wheels would be too much for a black car. also white will make it cheaper, cause door jambs and stuff adds alot to the price because of the large amount of prep and taping it takes to do jambs.

I didnt even think about that. I guess I should stay with white. And this will be payed for by my friend. I work with him and go to class with him, so it aint like it will go un-noticed.
