Default painting the car to another color? or not?

Hi all,

I crashed the car a few days ago (dont use Pirelli corsa or any other that type of tire during rain, they aquaplant even with 50 mph/h) and now it need to be painted (bumpers, doors and some more stuff). So i was thinking of painting it into a new color. Currently its chrome gray. I've ordered a Top Secret Wide body kit and i dont think it will fit well with the current color of the car. Any opinions which color to choose?

Thanks

If you are going widebody, you might as well paint it a different color. Go with what you like and what looks good to you. Also, you may consider getting new wheels to fill in that wide front fender and rear fender. Mind if I ask who you ordered the widebody from?

Hmm do you think Advan's RS arent ok for the wide body?

I need your opinions for the color that would suit well the Top Secret Kit. I've the dark gray that was in F&F Tokyo Drift 350Z (DK's). It sounds rice but the color I think is nice. I don't wanna go with a fancy color like Gold or Orange.
Maybe pearl white? I'm bad at these styling things and I really need opinions

The insurance company calculated 6500 USD for the 2 destroyed Advan RS wheels (they think the wheels are stock Rays and price per part for those wheels in local Nissan is 3000 USD each lol) so I thought i could use that money on a wide body kit and make my friend in Japan to prepare the invoice for 2 rays wheels instead of the widebody kit.
