what are your plans for the car? trying to mod a green car isn't real easy....a common color would be better if you plan on adding cosmetics later.

If you paint it black, be prepared to wash it every freakin day, b/c those show more dirt than any other color i have ever seeen.

Ive seen blue cars look good, ive seen red cars look good, ive seen "champaigne"(sp) cars look good.



basically, ANYTHING but red(make insurance higher) would be a good option,that is, if you want the details of your car to show.



If the car isnt in good good body condition, you can always throw black on there that way they cant see the lines of the car, lol. Ive seen alot of black 92's they are fairly decent looking, tho you can hardly tell its a protege, and where I live proteges are rare, so its fun t be different.
