Default Repainting my S2000, what color?

Since I bought my S2000, I knew I was going to be painting it due to the condition, and now I am finally getting ready to do so. Let me paint the picture for you, it is an AP1 underneath, but has Ap2 headlights and taillights, an AP2 rear bumper, and will have an Amuse front bumper. My car will also be keeping Ap2V1 wheels. Should I paint it Apex Blue ( OEM S2000 CR color) or Laguna blue? ( OEM Ap2 dark metallic blue color?)


Apex Blue


Laguna Blue


Opinions? Comments?

I love apex blue, but my concern is it is a little "rice" or people may mistake it as a crappy custom baby blue color?

Laguna. Way more classy. Not a fan of the CR blue.

not much choice, but I say Laguna.

Jojipoji (?) George, has a white GR-T. He had it body wrapped in orange (looked like Neutered Sputniks S) and it looked great. None of us knew it was a wrap until we opened the doors. He said it cost $2,000 (that was on Monday), so you might consider that option. He said you treat it just like the regular finish.

Wow no Apex blue love huh? I was almost learning towards it... but it seems like everyone hates it!

I definitely don't want to do a wrap. I do all my own paint work so labor is free for me, so a full wrap job which wouldn't even include engine bay etc. would cost 4 times more than a full paint job for me. If I had to pay a shop to do the work, I would definitely consider a wrap instead though.
