Default I want a Color Change -- Rescue Green to White

Sup Everyone.... So, I really want a white Rubi. I have a Rescue Rubi, and I am not sure what I want to do.

Do I paint it?
Do I have it done in Line-X white?
Do I Herculine it white myself?
Do I have done in a Vinyl Decal?
Do I cover it in Bird Shit?
Do I cover it in guano?
Do I Wheel it much harder and then turn it in on insurance and have it painted?
Do I not worry about it because I like the Rescue Green too, and they don't make it anymore?
Do I wait unitl 2012s are out and trade?
What will happen to trade in value for 3.8 when pentastar is in full effect?
Do I try and sell it outright?

I wonder if anyone wants to trade?


What are your thoughts?

The great white bat has great white guanooo!

But seriously, Rescue Green is one of those rare colors that they don't make anymore. I vote keep it. (though I am partial towards green jeeps)

If you were to paint it, white LineX sounds fun....

Price for Line-X is about 3grand. Herculiner is about 500. Having a pro do it might make all the difference in the world.

My first question would be why? Sweet Color.

Next, due to the uniqueness of the color I think you sell to retain value. Sell/Trade, rather than pay more to more than likely decrease resale value with line-x or herculiner. Much smaller market that would appreciate that add-on.

Keep the rescue green, it's sweet! It actually would have been my first color choice, but was no longer made... so what did I end up with? A white Rubi which was my second choice and I love as well!

Keep the rescue green. It's a rare color that I see less and less of nowadays.
