ocean blue vs. tender blue
would the owner(s) of an ocean blue and tender blue 7 be willing to post a pic of their car? i'm wondering what the differences are in the color shades.

the color code is located on the VIN plate on the passenger side of the firewall. it will be a either a letter and a number or two letters. here's an example off of my 80 Leather Sport:

As far as I know, its the other way around. the 84-85 are tender blue. ocean blue are the earlier 81-82's.

according to the rx-7 brochures i have, ocean blue and tender blue were available colors for 85, only tender blue was available in 84, and stardust blue was the only blue available in 82
