My first choice would be red, then blue. And I like the ground effects the way they are.

i like the orange with the silver. it looks unique, but still has the stock feeling cuz of the ground effects color. love to see that on a real car.

Yellow and silver would look good to me. But its your choice on what you want not others. This may be way out there but how about black with silver...eh

Blue has always been my favorite, but the orange looks very good! Yellow too. I would like to see the yellow with the "mirror" tint.

If you want your 3rd gen to look like every other 3rd gen you should go with red or blue, but if you want you car to stand out from the crowd!

i'd have to lean toward yellow. but something i almost did on my black trans am was orange ground effects, and those are pretty simple to paint on your own and still get a good finish, so i'd suggest trying orange w/black ground effects instead of silver.

(i'd be painting my TA conv yellow & silver if it didn't have a tan top and interior...)

that would be pretty sick, with the 4 colors above with silver ground effects, i think itll make the stock interior look pretty cool, since its sort of retaining it stock with ground effect color, but with a touch of custom paint... i think if you went with a two tone top/ground effects that were both not stock, or weird like blue and orange, with a stock interior, it wouldnt look too great. once you put in an all out custom interior with billet wheels and billet in the interior and even blue and orange it might look oddly acceptable if dont right... lol
