Pic Request: Sapphire Blue Metallic RX7s

I cant find any good pictures of this color. Ive only been able to see a few, and the ones ive seen have really bad paint jobs on them. My car is this color, and it seems pretty rare, id just like to see a few examples of this color.

Thanks!

Mine is this colour (5A), but I can't seem to find some pics of when it was in one piece.

There's some pics of it in the FC pic thread, but in bits. I'll see if I can find some better ones.

My car was that color, but it was horribly sunburnt and beat up when I got it. I really liked what little there was left of the color, but when I got her fixed up, I opted to paint her Montego Blue.

My paint job is immaculate, so I wont be changing it, I just want to see some FCs with the same paint job that look good. Maybe a drop and some nice wheels, etc.

This seems like a rare color

CPT, yours looks the same color as mine, which is "Harbor Blue". My favorite of course. Sapphire blue is a little darker. Did they even make S5 FC in that color?

What's the difference between the Sapphire blue and the Harbor blue? I'm not sure which my car is, and either everybody is as confused as I am or the difference doesn't show well in photos...

The Harbor Blue is just a little darker but real close.

Paint code should be on you VIN plate. 5A for Sapphire and 5D for Harbor.
