I'm way partial to blue but every car I own is blue!

As far as factory colors for the FCs blue is my favorite DUH!

But i think an FC would look killer in a deep bright Orange. Not a dull orange almost a blaze orange but not as obnoxious. Just make sure you have a black interior or it would look VERY STUPID. Oh and always paint the moldings best aperance change between the S4 and S5 was the color keyed moldings.

I like those blue colors especialy the 1st one that was posted!

Has more of a purple tint to it in real life though. Pictures just can't seem to capture it.
Is that a factory color of some make? If so which make and code!

If it's after market which company makes it?

I'm getting my blue FC painted and need a cool blue color to do it in..

I'd have to say 5-10 coats of Acura Nighthawk Black with about 2 coats candy purple metallic clear coat followed by about 5 coats of regular clear coat. Then get some two or three peice wheels and paint the spokes the same as the car leaving the lip polished.

That or gold with gold Gram Lites.

There is no best color, it's just a matter of opinion. To me, black looks the best.

I don't know why, but I picture the fc with pastel or deep colors. Nothing too bright like the post above. When I repaint my car, it might be a strawberry tinted red or a canary yellow. Haven't decided yet.

Only came on Integra GSR's manufactured in 1998-1999. Its the rarest color GSR and is probably the most popular.

Another good color is "Electron Blue Pearl" from 99-00 Civic Si's.

I hate ****** that have no respect for others property.


edit: Oh, yeah, the color. Well, I think that the best color for an FC is either yellow or an electric blue like color.
