well mine is a Ti grey metallic but it looks nothing like the fd paint it may be mixed differently. Plus my car looks blue from some angles. Its a PPG color that I got on it. My uncle owns a body shop and painted it for me.




Sorry about the hood its just kinda on there. that was when I pulled the motor. I hope this helps.

how about that goldish color thats on the FC from speedmachineperformance.com that looks good w/ a CF hood IMO. also black doesnt look good with cf because u cant even tell u have it and it just looks like faded paint if the car was black. but once again thats IMO

Thats a different color, he is talking about titanium grey which neve rcame on fc's and is kind of light grey/dark silver. S4 fc's came in a dark, greenish looking grey called "tornado silver metallic" and s5's (i think only in japan) came in "shadow silver metallic" which was darker and more metallic.

The fd didnt come in any of these colors factory.
