Unique Color Combo- Hot? Or Not?

Macadamia w/ Natural Brown Interior. Black center-locks. Black "Turbo" stripe. Wing mirror in Alu look.

Just playing the design game and this is the result. Pretty unique look and one I have certainly never seen before...

Step up! Speak your mind!

i like it, but then again i'm a fan of understated looks in hot cars...in a couple of years, you can sell it to me used when you are tired of it and want to go back to guard's red!!!

I think it is a very "under the radar" color. Very rich looking but IMO a little understated for the sporting character of this car.

Could be a sophisticated powerhouse, but I'm not feeling the turbo stripe.

Stripe was the one element I really struggled with. On the one hand it ties the wheels together nicely and adds a further contrast to the yellow calipers.

On the other hand...it does add the one piece of boy-racer look and takes away a bit from the sophistication look.

The only "tattoo" on an otherwise clean body if you will.

Point noted and understood

I like the color, but don't like the idea of the stripe. Honestly, I don't think you'd really see it though. Also, for as much as I love black wheels, they seem somewhat out of place with the light interior. A darker interior completely changes the feel of the car to me - I think it becomes less sporty.

Much better without the stripe-the rest is up for discussion.

Vote no to all of it. Brown exterior? Ick. Logo stripe only looks good on a GT3RS.

I don't know if I'd buy one but, I like the brown. I'm pretty much sick to death of silver and gray. It's nice to see something different.

I actually looked at the brown at one point but couldn't bring myself to buy brown with the yellow ceramics.

Personally (how else would it be), I like it. i've always felt that fashion-wise you could do a brown pinstripe suit with a black shirt and tie and be fly as hell (and confusing everyone that ever thought you couldn't mix brown and black). My two cents: I'd ditch the stripe, have the model designation painted black, and black painted center console and interior plastic parts to really bring out the contrasting color scheme that you're going for. The thought being, combine brown and black on the outside, then combine it on the inside and tie it all together.

I like it because it's different. Silver and black are so overdone.
