Well, I might be a bit biased there.

I'm with you there. I like them all too. When I went to buy mine, I was going to order a monotone Neptune. However, since the only 2 GTs on the lot were Shadow and I didn't want to wait, I bought one. I'm glad I did. I have no regrets. I have to say though, my second favorite color is Envy with the monotone package. One of the members at MatrixVibe.net has one and I think it looks pretty sharp.

Yeah, something like the Polo Green on the Grand Am. I think that would be a good Vibe color. I think it would even look pretty good with the plastic cladding.

You don't see too many vehicles anymore with that color option.. there seemed to be a burst of vehicles with the dark green a few years back but looks like it has died down.

It's one of my personal favorite colors. You're right though, there aren't a lot left with that color. Interesting that somehow the burnt orange that Dodge and Nissan use has survived but dark green has died off. Although, burnt orange might look pretty good on a Vibe too... naw, maybe not. Good point too SilverAWD, metal flake green with a deep window tint would be pretty!

My Friends mustang GT was like that metalic green with Gray Clad all around it was an 90 or 91 .cant remember....However metallic green is easier to maintain then neptune,abyss, frosty finish........and it looks cool and alot cleaner then the above! My 5.0 was fire station red.....very close to the bright red vibe, not the salsa color....that car too stayed alot cleaner then the 3 pontiac finishes I mentioned.and yes it looked awesome at night as well!.....

Niether.......... first of Black and White are not colors...... Plus Black is far too hard to keep looking nice (dirst shows easily as well as scratches and dents). White is realy easy ot keep but it is in my opinion a little boring (basic white not metalic or pearled white) it looks to Car Rental...... Go for something exciting like Lava or that funky green they have..........
