Arrow Shadow silver metallic JDM?

Hey guys I have always loved the Shadow silver matallic on fc's but i was just looking through the faq trying to find a pic of it and realized it is not listed in the faq under any year or model. Was this only on jap fc's? Ive only seen it twice and both times it was on a GT-r. Just curious. Also if anyoen has some pics of a ssm fc id really appreciate it. i lost all my files recently and can no longer find the thread of that sexy gt-r. I think the guy was in canada.

Are you talking about a bright silver or a dark metallic charcoal like this?



Best pic I could find quickly sorry.

That's "Shadow Silver Metallic" and was only available on JDM FC's (to my knowledge)... ^^^

The one NZ is talking about is "Charcoal Silver Metallic", a S4 color...

im still debating on the color im going to paint my 87 after i replace the quarter panel (original color is royal maroon metallic). this color was in my mind after seeing a drift silvia w/ a built/modded CA18DET swap at my buddies shop. i like how it looks, so i was wondering what an FC would look like in it.

all i can say is, thanks for the pics

the s4 color was tornado silver metallic. they are different, you have to see it in the right light. the ssm is darker and more grainy, kinda like the grey part of cf hoods. The tornado silver metallic is a "greener" shade of grey IMO. My 86 base is TSM and so was my 87 gxl.
