I am getting ready to paint my 87 TII, and I am debating between painting it either red or yellow. It is red now, so I know what it looks like red, but I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of some yellow FC's they could post so I can get an idea what yellow would look like on an RX-7. THANKS!

 

I have seen one along time ago. Keep it Red. You will hurt your 7.

 

What's wrong with yellow?

Yellow FCs look good...I like silver and white better, though.

 

a friend of mine has a CYM FC... really sweet car. putting about 280 to the wheels.. I think? I dunno. Ask cymFC3s. thats his forum name.

 

heres what one looks like in yellow. Its not easy to change colors though.

 

Ya- colour changes are a huge pain... and will cost a LOT more $$ to do...
They never quite look right either (IMO)
If you want to cut corners... you will be looking at things like a red engine compartment... etc.
I love red FC's- I wish my black one was red
I like yellow too.... but I like the e original Mazda one.. CYM, with just a touch of white in it to make it a tiny bit paler.. I think that looks cool.

Silver look plain amazing, since their aren't many at all (only aftermarket I beleive) but they are hard to match colors with incase of any scratches, or accidents.

I have seen a few that are a deep cobalt/UV blue color... Damn. Those are nice.

 

yep..

Nice car- but why is it that whenever someone paints a car yellow, they paint EVERYTHING yellow??????? I've seen it a million times! Trim, badges... everything.... Windshield wipers????

Oh well.. nice car though.

 

darn i cant get my photo on. sorry

 

 

Here you go, from TAS 2002

 

Thanks for all the pics guys! I really am torn between the 2 colors. I think I do like the red better though, the only thing is I already have a red Trans Am and I figured one red car was enough! As for changing colors, it won't make any difference to me as the car is going down to bare metal anyway before it gets painted. I planned on doing the door sills and engine compartment as well. Oh well, I will be sure to post some pictures after I get it done whichever way I decide to go.

 

Oh, and as for the silver ones, a buddy of mine is planning on doing his 89 GTU in silver with 2 royal blue racing stripes, so hopefully we will have some pictures of that as well. There was a silver vert here in town at a used lot a while back and it looked incredible. The guy said it was 99 Honda silver, and it was a realy nice color.
