Volvo just put a new color out for their 2004 S60R and V70R models called 'Flash green metallic'. It's a little bright, but I think a two-tone with your original green would look gorgeous, IMO.

I don't know about the white roof. I think I'd go monotone on this one.

What would Foose do?

WWFD?

Make some phone calls, draw a wicked picture. Then get twelve of the bestest newest friends he has ever had to rebuild it while some dork makes up some stupid theft scenario and a good looking skinny gal makes us all wonder. why is she in the way?

I like super light silver with a possible hint of the stock green metalic added in to the base mix, or as a pearl in the top coat. I think the roof should be the same color as the body.

I like the idea of breaking up the body along the main line with a splash of the stock green color then trimming out the calipers, QA1s, intake grooves, acc. brackets, etc. in the green. You could also two tone the dash and or do the inner door panels in the green. The white interior is going to be hard to work with on about any color.
