Thanks :icon_bigg

My interior is blue. The pearl is a "classic" pearl with blue irradiance...I did the moulding too. Should look good with grey IMO.

If you've narrowed it down to Blue or White, In my humble oppinion, I would go with the blue. I do like white, I love the look of jdub's car, but white shows everything! I think white is a harder color to keep looking good. It does stay cooler in the summer though.

I think a royal blue with some metal flake, and a pearl clear coat would look very nice. It would give it a deep look. And it would flat out sparkle in the sun.

You're right cadman...the white does show dirt pretty quickly. But here in good ole hell (AZ in the summer), white is a godsend ;)

i think white gives a unique touch...around where i live anyway. I like black too...but i think you should just look at TONS of supra photos, pic out your favorites and try your best to imagine your car that way.

and i'd consider heat and reflective properties depending on location...

i like both your choices... but i think i've seen more white cars than blue ones...so its hard to say which i like best. white would definatly be harder to keep clean...

but thats part of what i like about white and black...they only look good when clean, and lots of people dont clean them like they should...so the clean ones are set apart from the reast :D
