Repainting my car soon.....
I've got a 2001 SE with Stillen's Front Touring Lip spoiler, and the aerokit's side skirts and rear valence.
Current color is grey lustre and I'll be repainting the entire car soon.
Do I..
Keep the same color or go with a nice pearl white.
I'm leaning towards the pearl white but what do you guys think..
Any other colors I should consider?

Unless you are completely disassembling the car and painting the entire body, don't change the color. It will lessen the resale value (like it needs to be any worse.) Besides, a GOOD paint job will cost you $2k at least.

Moreover, no aftermarket paint job can match the quality and design of the original factory paint. The new paint job may look better but won't last the test of time. Consider the process involved with painting a Max at the factory and a Max at a paint shop. No comparison.
Anyways, recommend painting just your body kit gray lustre.
