I'm just as torn as you....

I've got the Neptune Blue as well and I love it because it looks hot you don't see many other around.

On the other hand, I know the blue you're talking about and its damn fine, and even less have that one!

keep it your color man.

BTW, the pics you sent me of your car were nice. The paint looked fine. Why are you repainting?

The other blue you're deciding on is too "ricey" IMO. I've really come to hate any vivid blue car, except Skylines, Audi's, and BMWs.

You make some good points. That is a pretty flashy blue, and is probably the equivalent of painting your car yellow. Cool on some nasty vehicle, but not quite so much on a 4DSC, unless you've got the engine work to back it up.

But I do have to admit though, I dunno his name but his car was at the NE meet (someone had pics of the event).

He's the guy with the license plate moved to the trunk. Usually, I don't like it up there but for some reason he made his look VERY good. Now that I think about it, it looks more like a G20's rear. Even though the G20 might look Civic-like, I still like the rear portion of it.

How can a hot shade of blue be ricey?? Maybe sky blue, purple, green, or oranage...but dodge viper blue! It's hot!

Yellow is hot too, but not on a civic or maxima or something like that. Exotic colors belong on exotic cars. Or really, really fast ones.

I'm doing the same...

Yeah I am also getting my Neptune Blue max repainted and I'm definitely keeping it the same color. I love the color. Definitely keep it Neptune Blue.
