Concentration is not my thing today. I’ve had 3 vacation days so far this year. I nearly lost my mind when I found out Monday is a holiday. I’ve completely burnt myself out over all the things that went into my !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! announcement yesterday. So I guess that begs the question - what colors for the Exo? Frame and body can be different colors. No limits.

I’ve tossed around a ton of ideas, red on black, black on red, monster energy green, etc. One of my latest ideas is to go with a desert-storm theme and do a super basic canvas wrap on the top along with raceseats re-covered in mil-spec fabric. What do you think?

The exocet is ugly as sin so whatever plays that up...

A black one for your imagination to do bad things with:

Gulf blue with orange frame!

Are you actually getting an excocet?

I’m thinking like a warthog. Grey with a shark mouth on the front.

That’s a shockingly good idea.

Pretty popular color for either frame or body.

Mexico Blue body panels, Metallic Orange cage/chassis

Gulf livery is never a bad idea!

I dig the milspec theme a lot.

Haha, if I were lifting it, yeah.

I think it’s a foregone conclusion. It’s what I bought the Miata for. I’ve saved up the money, just need to pick some colors and put the deposit down.

Kind of a pseudo-gulf. Interesting.

First you need to change your username, then paint it orange and Gun metal grey.

A Martini Racing livery would be super cool. Red frame, silver body, and the stripes.

Plus add these

You already have a good black base. Why not add some flames and go for the full Guy Fieri look? Don’t forget some blonde paint for the top of the roll cage.

You can even get a matching shirt for yourself.

I love me some Exocet but I always think they need more tire.

The mil spec idea sounds cool.

Could go classic ariel atom gold frame with black panels

BTW, when I said Warthog, I meant plane, not halo truck.

I can’t upload photos at work, but just google “shark paint scheme Warthog”

I think it would look great on the exocet.

Metallic gold on the frame, black and red on the bodywork. See how many people ask if it’s an Atom

HAHA. I was totally thinking Halo.

That fits well with the milspec theme. I really enjoy looking at it on the Morgan 3 Wheeler.

Body-martini livery but replace all white parts with black.

Cage-light blue matching the martini blue

My bird IS the word > Nick Has an Exocet 08/30/2017 at 18:20

Cause it’s rad.

Anyway probably it’s because it reminds me of a razor or something similar. Just seems to fit it well.

What is the point of driving an Exocet if you have to kill yourself for owning it?

Spoon II > Nick Has an Exocet 08/30/2017 at 18:21

Lime green metal plus black body panels!

NERD!!!

I was like “raising it? What the hell?” “Ohhhh he must be thinking Halo”

Those are seriously pretty. I think I may build my own cluster though. At heart, I’m a designer.

Also, Martini livery might be amazing.

I may stick with 15x7. That’s just about practicality. Believe it or not, my roommate really wants us to commute in it so we can take the carpool lane. LOL

Nick Has an Exocet > Nick Has an Exocet 08/30/2017 at 18:25

Also, yes, I said practicality and Exocet. Haha.

Haha. Indeed. I have a degree in video games. Seriously, it’s a thing.

How else are you gonna get to Flavor Town? Walk? Take the bus?

A yellow car, actually.

Maybe use a WWII Japanese airplane scheme? Also add a dragon’s mouth around the front opening!

I’d vote the wart hog (plane) theme before the mil spec theme. Much more “pilot” oriented, and I’m not a huge fan of “tacticool”. Actually, any military aircraft just about I think would be fun.

But I’m also going to throw my vote in for the martini livery.

You should design your own cluster, though I am a proponent of the KG Works Cluster

Yes I think Martini would be very awesome and unique as I didn’t see one in google searching it.

The best part about having no fenders is that there isn’t anything to rub with giant tires as long as you have enough offset.

That commuting idea isn’t going to last past the first time it drops below 50F or when your roommate eats a bug.

Black body with a brightly colored frame.

Hah. Yeah, we’ll see. She always surprises me. By the time she gets back from living in a Mars simulation, the car might be done.

As a shout out, the guy behind revlimiter.net is a friend and racing buddy of mine in Albuquerque. Adam is a seriously nice guy and as crazy about miatas as they come.

OK, already 43 comments posted and you can’t expect me to go through all of them to see if this is already there, so I’ll just leave this here. Yeah, I know it’s not a seven, but ALL cars like this should be BRG with yellow noses.

I think a Gulf-liveried Exocet would be cool. Something like this, but with the colors reversed and orange rims.

Bright orange (or green) frame, purple body.

Hire a graffiti artist to go to town on it with rattle cans

Interesting idea. I know a couple locals who would be down for that.

Ok, here me out. I’m going to do this with my future Factory Five 818c. Black frame and then paint the body panels Porsche acid green (paint code 2M8). Accents should be in a world rally blue. Or frame in the wrb.
