Stock color because not matter how hard you try color changes look nasty in the hidden areas, to much labor and not worth it

Thats true...even if u do the door jams..the engine bay will still be the original color unless you pull it and have everything painted which is a pain in the ass.

When i painted my car it was white and i painted it white blue satin pearl. So the door jams and engine bay didnt look that much differeent. Something u should consider if ur going for show. h:

Well I personally know the guy who is painting my car, and we'll be spending many hours prepping it. I can prep cars, I can't paint to save my life.

Even the engine bay will be done.

Shawn if it were up to me and LT. I'm sure LT would agree with me not to paint it orange. We saw an Acura similar to yours BUT it was a POS and painted an orange color. Spinners, the works

I love the Cadillac Pearl White found on Escalades and EXT's. Its a subtle yet very beautiful color.

My only opinionated advice is to select your color with the fact that your car is a Vigor in mind. Bright oranges and yellows won't look right on a more classically styled sedan IMO. I'd personally stick with more traditional colors. Post pics though.
