TII's and 'verts look fantastic triple black IMO.

Coming in second, I like the red colors only when they're not faded (and they always are, exept in the above pic THAT IS AWESOME )

Yup. It's a little feaky. Original Bridgestone RE71 tires, Mazda OEM battery (replaced twice). One owner. I wasn't in the market for a FC, but when I found this one on cars.com, I had to buy it. It's essentially a new car.

be different. do innocent blue mica. or yashio factory pink! jay deeee m!

i honestly would like to see a forest/dark green on an fc. maybe when i get another fc, i will do that. just the green would give it that normal bland color, but rx-7 heads would go nuts over.

That's pretty cool. Yellow FC's are very rare, as are people who actually like they way they look, lol.

I would never consider painting my cars any color than what was offered by the factory. I think it's a tragedy when someone thinks they're "customizing" their car by choosing a paint color that they like better.

Honestly though, if you're not going to paint the carbon fiber, make it the same color charcoal color as the carbon fiber. Whenever I see cars that are white or whatever with an unpainted carbon fiber hood, I always just assumed they got in an accident, got in the cheapest hood they could find (which normally ships painted primer black), and left it unpainted cause they can't afford to get it fixed properly..

Would you just put a painted black hood on your white car?

damn, u guys have no taste!!! its gotta be PINK!!!!! heheh but yeah, im thinking of a nice deep purple color for mine......something that stands out but at the same time blends in.....like if i were to go to HIN ppl will notice it, but if im out on the street, a normal person (ie police officer ) wouldnt really notice it that much.....
