Well the design layout for the exterior is complete.

Ben Hermance knocked the design out out of the park!!

And the exposed carbon fiber striped will allow us to really show off the parts from Anvil!!

So here are the three color choices in the running:

GM JetStream Blue - 09 ZR1

Toyota Avalon Maroon

PPG Brilliance - Sunset Red Metallic

I'm really having a tough time with this decision since they all look SO good!!! I'm still leaning towards the red/burgundy since the car has always been burgundy since I've owned it. But that ZR1 Jetstream blue is growing on me... maybe it's because I bleed Air Force blue... or maybe because it reminds me of the old Lucerne "Lucy" Blue they used to put on these cars, only updated. IDK

Please vote in the poll to help me decide on a color... :help:

V/R,
Ty

well I think you can say that there's a clear winner Ty. The people have spoken.

Old flame should be blue.

I have a '68 bird that is red, I had a pee yellow 75, and a blue 73.

I love red birds (obviously), but that rendering screams blue.

I'll go against the grain on this one...

I like the Toyota Maroon....BUT only as it is in the upper left, rear-shot pic. I think the main pic is too dark.

btw - I dig the blacked-out rear panel too!

I voted blue, but I don't think you can go wrong on this one Ty. I'm diggin' the carbon fiber accents.

The Blue really works and it is a (close) color that the birds came in as well as the sunset metallic.

Reds seem to make the body look stubby.

Check out the Acura dark cherry color. You will find it on 2014 mdx. I like the red colors. Much more $$$ though
