What Color to paint the fox?
Hey guys so my performance parts company,Redline Performance Parts just bought this 1989 fox body and we are making it into a X275 car and I can't decide what color to paint it. Here are some pics of it, so let me know what you think and even post up some pics so i can get a reference.

White. It is the perfect color. Tint the windows, headlights and tails and you'll have one clean looking ride.

sorry, meant to say that wasn't mine, that picture is a guys on corral.net, stangmata. mine originally was ultra blue, but the previous owner had it repainted bright lapis blue
i do still have the drums on mine though, lol. when it comes to the body i like to leave it as original as possible. i like the solid color of an lx better than two tone, but i got this one for $4,000 with 65,000 (father in law's, so i knew the car) miles on it, bone stock.

What about that new "gotta have it green"? That would turn some heads. Redfire would look nice too, but I don't know if that's flashy enough for a race car. Go for something that makes people watch your car, even if your loosing.

Hey guys thanks for your thoughts!! We changed our mind and decided to make the fox body into a XDR/TT-5 car. And we r thinking about Matt Pearl White. And paint the 25.5 cage black or DSG?? What do u guys think?

Anybody got pictures of a redfire fox? I'll be painting mine in the near future and am stuck between stock (cabernet red) and redfire metallic.

My first GT was oxford white. I loved that car. The paint was always like a mirror. I really miss it.
