Wich ever you think is better, Everyone has there own taste. The dark blue or blue looks good. The forest green would be interesting with gunmetal rims or white ones.

Yes, but I am a cheap ***, plus I think burgundy looks pretty good. Except for the interior.

I have a burgundy 88 gxl as well, i had a burgundy 89 accord, so i'm pretty sick of burgundy.

Too bad I can't afford a paint job

Totally stripped? The only way to go even if you keep your original color.

I just got my car painted!! It's called "Brave Blue" which is OEM 91 rx7 color. I had the entire car painted with PPG paint. I have a custom engine already made so the blown engine was out and it looks so sick!! I also got the 91 bumper,91 rear, OEM brave blue bumper strips, 91 foglight, 91 foglight switch, its going to be clean. And I just got me some 18 8.5 fr, 18 9.5 rims.

As long as its not baby-blue and white paint it any color you want.

If your going forest green id suggest getting black rims. I think that combo would be sic. Peace

hrm that's funny, the blue for the rx8 is called "Winning Blue" and the FD's so-called "blue" is called "Montego Blue", even though the consensus seems to be that in actuality, the color is green .
