I certainly can't argue with you there! On just about any other car, I'd never have liked the color. And normally I'd stay as far away from flashy colors that scream "pull me over please!" But it just seems to fit on the elise, like you said. And the visibility advantage for other cars is huge too for driving around town or on the highway.

100% this. If I bought an Elise it would have to be in that "hunter safety orange" they have.

Yeah, I believe they call it "Chrome Orange." That or the traditional British racing green with yellow stripes would have been my first two choices. But I'm far from disappointed with the Krypton Green after seeing it in person!

It's gorgeous. I'd paint the wheels and roof black, but that's just me. And get a loud exhaust. Something that loud visually needs to be loud.

You read my mind! It just needs more black in there to make her look mean! I think I will wait for the spring but I'm planning on going with a CF black roof, powdercoating the wheels black, and going with 2 racing stripes up the middle, and then black reusable numbers for track days.
