Need your guys' opinion...keep red or go a diff color...

[Driftingcorners]

Hey guys,

I was wondering what you guys thought of this...

I have a very cherry, MINT CONDITION OEM Paint Red non SUNROOF SE model Kouki. I was wondering if I should keep the red, or should I respray the outside white(with doorjams and trunk, I can't do the engine bay). This will not be a maaco paintjob, my family friend owns a legit bodywork shop that will give me job AT COST.

I have a full origin kit for it, so shit needs to get painted anyways.

I'm really torn between the two, I love white, BUT I also don't really want to devalue the car by painting it a diff color....esp when the engine and interior is still red....idk....

Idk, thoughts?

I'm always for keeping original colors only because you wouldn't have to go through the trouble of going through the engine bay just to get everything matching.

However, it is nice to have a white Kouki...

I say just stick with the red.

I thought s14's had that hard black coating for the engine bay color?

If your car is red, leave it! Red is an awesome color!

Only the Dark(Black, Green, Blue) colors got the Black. Red and the light colors were a color matched hard coat.

Keep it red. Unless you strip it bare the red will come through on you.

Keep it red!! Factory paint is always better!! Especially if it still looks brand new

Just color match the kit to your color

Red is a bust, especially in Cali. I say go white it makes everything look so fresh! My Kouki is white! :]

White is amazing... love it! But if you are not going to paint the bay then that would be REALLY ghetto. You would have to change your name to Cuttingcorners

I have a white kouki. Sometimes I wish it was red. I would powder coat my wheels white. Like this

Then I have days where I am glad I kept it white, and all I have to do is paint the wheels TAKA green.
