    For you'd I'd say hot pink or an electric fuchsia

    But for me, I voted the darker one

    I think the darker gray would look awesome but would be difficult to hide any kind of trail damage. The lighter gray would be harder to spot pin striping on. I voted dark gray though.

    Burtn orange ks sexy Monte lol honestly tho, from my phone out logs like the light one is almost the exact same as it was stock. I think the darker one would look better, but if the lighter one is noticeably different, then it would loo good too.more contrast with the armor.

    Not black....I think the dark grey kind if looks more like a gun metal, which is why I liked it.

    I like both colors, but I'm a sucker for the old school tan look. If I ever had to/came up with the cash to repaint it would be a contender :cool:

    I would go with a burnt orange color, it is my plan if I ever repaint mine. There was a SEMA 2nd Gen Tacoma that was done in a burnt orange, and except for the eBay headlights, it was sweet looking.

    (PS- I in no way support the this JEEP, just the color)

    Maybe it's just the lighting but it looks darker than the cardinal red.

    Either way... drool
