Narrowing Down Paint Options, Input Appreciated!
UPDATED 6/12/07! CHECK LAST POST FOR DETAILS
(First of all, I hope this poll works... hehe) In the quest to bring my SVX back into prime condition, Im faced with the neccessity to paint it. Of course, I'd like to stay true to the classy styling of the SVX. I also have a slight urge to possibly update the color scheme slightly. Picture for reference (this is before bodywork began on the car)  It just so happens that my interior leaves more to be desired as for comfort, as the seats are old, tired and the leather has become rock hard. Id like to replace the seat upholstery if I do keep that interior. However, I also have a complete interior from my 97 LSi that is for spares. This TAN interior is absolutely mint, and I am tempted to put it in the car. What you think? (Note: The 1997 wheels are being installed on the car regardless of this decision)

If you check Alycone's locker, in the folder named "SVX Abuse" is about 40 different photoshopped paint colours. Some look REALLY nice.
This outta get you there: Click ME!! Just to give you a nice sampling of what an SVX can look like, if you want it to.

Thanks for recommending my svx abuse photochops, lol. I don't remember who's car it was, the wheel thing bugs me but its too late to bother to fix it. I think I originally did the photochops trying to find horrible colors, but some accidentally turned out okay.

Some are nice, but ya, there's a couple that would make me inclined to hurt someone if they painted their car that colour.
I love the look on people's faces when I show them an SVX picture and mention that a wheel is on backwards. They get very head-scratchy.
