If youre looking for a challenge, you could paint it up as a rust-bucket. Rusted through, holes, etc. Would be quite a challenge and would look better than you think, particularly since the car just came out.

The gulf livery represents the pinnacle of what car racing is all about, thats why its used on so many different makes. Id use the general theme from the gulf livery and play with photoshop color combinations, instead of baby-blue, perhaps a deep dark black/plum and have the accents in white or green.

So maybe there is a way to pull design inspiration from it without totally recreating it? Discuss.

I see your style. How about our Miami Marlins colors?

or my Livery from Forza 3 on my GTR

Hard to see but its not bad and sort of your style

Or a simple one like my yellow one on Forza 4 with some of your twists?

@Snoopyalien24 both are very good. Thanks for sharing!

Okay, any other ideas? We're going to begin the build.

No suggestions on paint scheme but a compliment on your other cars. They are outstanding! Amazing attention to detail

A bit offtopic

Like this picture (I linked it because it's huge)

Or the "original" panda style,

I could've sworn a member had a panda style FR-S, like the AE86 in the 2nd pic, but I can't find it right now.

This trueno is for sale now for $11k
