2001 F-150 4X4 6" lift on 37" tires
2007 GSX-R 600
2008 SX-R 800

good god please violet out of the two. Ive seen way too many blue/bluish 240s, its played out and it does not fit the body lines of a 240.

santorin blue, its sort of halfway between intense blue and violet. i think violet would look OK with tinted windows.

also newport blue pearl and blue ridge pearl if you like subaru blues but don't want to do world rally blue like everyone else. i like WRB but it only looks good on sedans IMO.

+1. I've also always had a soft spot for the old SCC Krylon car. Its totally played out, but this was probably the first car to adopt flat black outside of hot rodding/classic muscle and it was badass back then.

I don't know what it might look like on a 240 but I think it's a killer blue.

I would also go for an even more "steely" blue.

I have a little bit of a rub near lock but if you are turned to lock on a track there are other problems already...

I like that blue on the Vette! I wonder what it'd look like on a less "I'm gonna eat you for breakfast" type of car?

Silver does look pretty sick, but I think I would need an s15 front end to pull it off

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
