oldscsc Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Oh, I remember now after the reply. IIRC it was only used for half a year. Let me see if I can find some pictures... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I have pics of a 1994 CS in purple. I don't remember seeing any 1988-96s in purple, I know the 1997-2003s were offered in purple though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandprixnyc Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I've seen them... I think it was a 94-96, its a light purple-blue, right? Its a "rare" color, I guess. I know we've discussed it before on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandprixnyc Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Yeah, that was a 94-6 color, very unusual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI_MuNkY Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 My 96 dealer literature makes no mention of any purples... All it lists are these 8 colors 16 Bright White 30 Medium Blue Metallic (SE sedan) 31 Medium Teal Metallic (SE sedan) 35 Dark Teal metallic 41 Black 43 Bright Aqua Metallic 81 Bright Red 96 Red-Orange Metallic My brother had a 95 SE Sedan in what I think was the Medium Blue Metallic, kinda looks purple in the pics...

grandprixnyc Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I want to say that color was available in 94, but I'm not totally sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supreme_style21 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Electric blue is what I've always called it. Unless it's some aftermarket paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuntzie Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 its been painted, original colour is red, look at the pic! below the headlight- red lower shirt on front- red front fender where piece missing- plastic clips are painted, where they wouldnt be from factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 its been painted, original colour is red, look at the pics! Yep...If you look under the right headlight and at the edge of the valence, there's a hint of red paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake91 Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 GOOD EYE!!! i saw it in person, and missed that it has a red area on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuntzie Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 also im not a sedan expert but... the previous picture has black mirros and these are body matched.... im pretty sure body match was a coupe only thing edit after closer inspection this appears to be a maaco job, no gloss, missed the part under the headlight, and the piece of moulding on the rear 1/4 doesnt fit at all( behind passenger rear door) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
