    Dave, weren't you on a 2 day self suspension? What is the penelty for breaking that?:rofl2:Watch out you might ban yourself next, then you will have to come up with a new handle and sneak around here.:D

    That titaium looks cool but I bet that mix will cost you. I would have to vote other also. Like Dave said you better make sure you can live with what you pick because it is yours. Me, I would want something different so greens, purples, teals, magentas, etc...are colors I would look at. And of course FLAMES!!!!:D

    By the way, I love the stance of your car and the way it looks also. Are those the 17" wheels?

    I voted other.
    Our cars look better in vibrant colors.
    Leave the blah colors to modern cars with no chrome and plastic body panels.

    My opinion. You asked... :D

    Thats what I'm thinking. I think the original color was light blue. Leaning towards orange (rick cooper's car),red, or dark blue (Thack's car).

    Orange would look good. BTW, I too love the stance your car has. Care to share the specs on that?

    There is someone in the forums with a really awesome black Comick, black trim, black body, black bumpers and black wheels. Then there's Chirt's Mav with that shade of gray that also looks very good. Another car I like a lot is Mercurycruzier's Comet, it's gold with black stripes and roof. There's also GrabberGT, whose Mav's painted in a very flashy yellow.

    Personally I like all those people cars' colors.

    70 mav that is one good looking car you have there. I guess that would be the original grabber orange.

    Thank you!
    This black mav looks so cool! needs some window tinting!

    my uncle had a mav dark metalic gray almost black, with flat black stripes all chrome were painted black including bumpers. glasses ,tail lights were tinted. The headlights were wearing women's black pantyhose to look dark. you couldn't tell it had them with lights on. the mav looked so cool kids on the street used to call it "kitt" the knight rider

    Thanks for the mention but you may need to have your monitor checked. My car is pretty far from being yellow.

    Mazda has this really cool color I see on some of their RX-8's and also on the Toyota Matrix. Its a Chili Pepper Red with a metal flake. Looks really sharp.

    What about a dark green almost gray with a white or black Grabber stripes like the ones on the fender. I can't tell what color the interior is but if it's black you could get away with almost anything. I have a red 74 Grabber with small bumpers that needs paint too.
