I like white cars but I'm weird. If not regular white, maybe a tri coat white pearl.

I think the special edition GTR is really interesting and unique. Ultimate black opal was it?

It is a really complex color. Look for more pics and you will see the wide variation under different light. I think it would look great on an FD and really show of the curves although alot of people disagree with me.

White does look amazing on the FD. A really bright white might be nice to. I really like the OEM snowy white and pearlescent white. Chaste white is nice to.


If I could pick a color again for my car (I ended up doing OEM TGM), I think I would try to do something more unique. Ultimate black opal for me.

My brother whom i live with has a MKIV that is painted RSP so i do not want any type of blue... and i am not a fan of purple the reason why i liked that new GTR purple is because it is barely purple lol

My RX-7 is wingless with an RE 99 spec plateless front end w/ genuinie 99 spec lip and signals, RE-amemiya sleek lights.. and APR carbon fiber mirrors... other than that the exterior is OEM

Just to give you an idea of the color, I had a similar color on my FD, but it was from a 2004 Corvette and was called "medium spiral gray metallic"

I agree that is why my car is not CYM. It's yellow but not a mazda yellow.
