What about Matte White? I saw a WRX with it done, looked great! But what about an OB though... thats the hard question!

I've seen matte green/blue/white.

A lot of the nice ones are the pearl matte colors. Almost like the lexus colors but matte.

Matte white looks really good. c0rehax has it on his STi and I like it a lot.

You could also do a matte white/black panda vinyl wrap.

I really do like the two tone on the OBS's. Another cool two tone would be like the AE86's

Between $400 and $3000 depending on if you order the roll and do it yourself (seen it done by regular amatuers came out looking great) and if you hire a pro to wrap the entire car including doorjams, engine bay, ect.

Cost wise, its a win in my book. I want to change my stock look to something that you dont see everywhere else you look but cant afford a $4000 paint job to paint my 13 year old wagon the graphite grey Lexus uses.

Not to mention that, but if you ever sell the car and someone doesn't like the color they can always remove the wrap.

Plasti-dip is also a pretty good way to protect the paint.

Not to mention, if I get sick of the color I can just peel if off. Takes minutes to do.
