Forest green can look really good. As long as it's not a generic run of the mill Honda Accord forest green. I saw a Suby last week that was forest green, it looked reallllly good. Orange is a little to F&F, idk if it can look good. Dark blue is not sharp looking. I'd say forest green of those options. I LOVE white though. But it's your car.

EDIT: Found the pic. It was chameleon paint, which I think is lame, but when the forest green shows it's hot. All forest green would be a winner

I am tooling with the idea of painting my EVO IX. Before you think yuuuuuk! I am talking about a straight up paint job, no stickers or ricer graphics. Just changing the color of my car from white to one of these colors-

Orange
or
Forest Green
or
Navy Blue
or
Some other choice

Here is some pictures of my previous 3000GT VR4, it was green but I paid an even $1,000 for the change to blue, it came out really nice, sorry for the poor picture quality-







Just thinking about it, nothing more, just wanted to get people thoughts and have others ever considered doing this.
IMHO white looks hot, But If I were to paint it another color it would probably be San Marino Blue or Carbon Silver

navy/midnight blue would definately look sick. it would be very original imo as well for a IX. it was a stock color on the VII i believe.

Feast Power Evo VII

While I am normally for changing the color to be unique, white is the **** on the Evo. I am actually considering changing mine from silver to white. That should tell you how amazing white looks on the Evo.

ok if you do orange...make it a darker metalic red-orange or something like that. blue wouldnt look bad if you made sure it was a true navy blue...i dont think green will look good. but yeah ive been thinking of doing a color change too
