Going to have to repaint my IP g35 sedan, considering going Twilight Blue

I am ordering a bunch of new body parts, such as sideskirts, nismo rear lip, and nismo replica bumper, and with an IP sedan, that means painting most of the car in order for it to blend properly. I was thinking about repainting the car twilight blue.

If I were to do that, I would probably buy an emblemless grill, and paint it body colour, and I would get a tint overlay (I'm done with spray lol) for the tail lights. I would also probably change the rear emblem back to silver (It is black right now) I also have black headlights and black sidemarkers.

What do you guys think about how this would look?

Pics of the car as it is: (Not photoshopped or edited)

I want your opinions!

Change it to TB.

Personally, I think that everything "blacked out" on a Twilight Blue G does not look good, but that's just my $0.02.

In the end, it doesn't matter what anybody else says you should do to your car, you should do whatever makes you happy. Considering it's you that drives it.

I think I am going to keep it IP, I think that its easier to compliment with other colour than TB, and its also a very clean colour IMO


thanks for the input

I do like the lexus pearl white, but it may not be worth the trouble to change it for such a minor change, IP wont match with it anymore but I dont know if it would actually look different.

If it were me, I'd take advantage of the opportunity to paint it a one-off colour and really have something special. See naughty240's sedan for a prime example.

Thats what I was thinking of doing, but then I couldnt decide on a colour I liked more than white. I dont like very bright colours on this kind of car, maybe a race car but Im trying to keep it clean and classy. I then got my set of sideskirts and they were painted twilight blue. I really liked that colour because of how it can appear black and dark blue sometimes.

If anyone has any other colour suggestions, I am all ears.

One thing that is important to me though, is I want it to be easy to colour-coordinate all the details. I have found that white and black works really nicely.
