Do you like this FC?

What do you think of this FC in the pic? I don't know who's car that is but that color is what color I will paint my NA when I get some $$. I won't paint over the trim like they did, though, just a stock scheme.

What do you think? OK? ? It is the closest I have seen to a Competition Yellow FC.

yeah, I would say, if your going yellow, you should go with a more brilliant yellow. Also, im not sure but i dont think yellow will look good with black trim, you might consider going to s5 trim or just painting yours. my 2 cents

More! Don't be shy people, tell me what you really think. I hated it at first but it is growing on me. That shade is not quite right.

OK what do you guys think of this one? It is a lighter shade and I like it more than the first one (not just because of the body kit).

Yo,


I think yellow FC's are cool!

You might want to look into the Vivid Yellow that the Mazda Protege 5 comes in. It's a good yellow, and a factory Mazda color!!

i have never been excited about a yellow FC but i would definately suggest painting the moldings or better yet S5 trim.

Also I think it would look kickin to use the actual Mazda Competition Yellow Mica paint

Kinda keepin it Mazda yet being original.

good luck

I'd like the first if it was a little darker. Some wheels would really set it off too. The second is too light.

That second one looks like a pearlized yellow. I like it, even though it isn't as dark as I normally like.

Thumbs up

Wow, impressive color. I'm wasn't a big fan of yellow FC's because I haven't really seen anyone use a yellow that was YELLOW enough (most that I've seen use either egg yolk from boiled eggs , or tennis ball green), but the first pic isn't bad at all. I'm still not sure if I like FC's w/out moldings on the side...it kinda gives the car more of a personality on the outside than w/out them (the engine and the rest of the car already have enough of their own soul). Nice though...makes me think
