Ready to paint the Formula need help deciding what color

I have a 94 Formula. I have installed a TA hatch (the one with the high spoiler), ram air hood, and w68 ground effects. I also removed the firebid emblems and the side moulding off and lowered it 1.5". Slapped on some ZR1 wheels. Installed t-tops. Now i'm ready to paint it and cant make up my mind what color. So show me some pics of your formula kinda similiar to mine so I can get an idea.
Thanks
Chad

Digital camera is broke. I need to go get a new one but all my money is going in the car. I'll see if I can get some pics up After I get my new SPEC stage III carbon clutch in and my trans back from the shop though. It is currently grey primered. I was thinking of something wild and attention getting but not sure if I will like yellow or orange on this car. Just havent seen many Birds those colors. I guess it would have to be just the right hue of yellow or orange or it will look like *ss.
So basically Im wanting something that has the wow factor but not overdid.
sorry fo long posts

Viper red! I had my '88 Z painted Dupont Viper red with metallic silver stripes...

It was the brightest red I could find from Dupont, and was so bright it looked orange at times. I got asked all the time what color it was, and got compliments on it constantly...

It may not sound different but believe me your car will get noticed above all the other factory red birds...

I know the color you are talking bout. Wonder if it would look right on a Formula.
Keep the suggestions coming

but I wish I had painted it House of Kolors SunShine Shimmering Pearl(orange). I also thought about the Dark Shadow grey that is on the 02 ford harley davidson trucks
