anyway, if you have an aluminum car like an audi A2 or a delorean you could save a few more grams by not painting them.

if you paint the car choose a relaxing color, this will cause you to drive slower and save gas!
the Delorian was Stainless Steel :P

Actually... I planned to paint it a "light" color as my car doesn't have AC and it gets upwards of 100-105 here in the summer LOL
