The best white for an FC is BLACK. Second best is White Crystal.

First, your multiple bumps fcforlife have been deleted. Bumping is forbidden here in the 2nd gen tech section, and frankly... multiple bumps is less than 48 hours is just plain rude. Why do you think your question is more important than anyone else here??

#2 why are you even asking? Don't you know what color (or in this case- lack of color) you like best? Do you need help getting dressed in the morning as well??? I can hear it now," Mom, what pants should I wear today... the blue ones or the white ones?"

Yep, go look at the color samples and figure out what color you like best... it is not rocket science. It is personal preference and lucky you live in America and can make a personal choice.

I can't tell the difference. Most of the white FC's are one color--faded.

I have paint code WY (noble white) on my repainted GTU, and I like it a lot though.

I wouldn't spend that much money on your paintjob...put some money in mods instead. I'd sure hate to own an RX7 and be afraid to drive hard because my paint will get fucked up lol. They're not showcars

I like my Crystal White on my 90. My hood is Noble White off an S4 model, I don't think it is nearly as bright. I want to repaint mine with some silver pearl thrown in, but we'll see.

note to icemark i haven't lived with my parents since i was 16 and i am twenty now so i don't need help with much I'm just asking for suggestions. it was late i was bored so i thought some input might be nice on this subject. you guys don't have to be so rude about everything people do that you don't necessarily agree with just thought I'd id put that out there

While we're on the subject of paint, I was going to repaint mine Crystal White from this Midnight-ish Blue that I have.. Does anyone know any good paintshops in the Bay Area?
