How about I painted my FD in Type- R's Championship White?

After I decide to repiant my car, I have so many choices. My friend gave me many suggestions. If I painted my FD in Type- R's Championship White, do I downgrade the car? What do you guys think?

If you paint it ITR Championship White then you can't be like everyone else and paint your car Icecube Sparkle Blueberry Candy Metallic.

No but seriously, I really don't like white white on any car, but off-white is a nice color. I also saw another color that I liked the prospects of on an FD, it's another off-white color that I think just has a hint of gray to it -- it's a New Beetle color and I think it's called "Vapor", but I'm not certain. Maybe you should check into that? An FD with a bodykit that doesn't destroy the lines (as most do), gold wheels with a nice polished silver dish, no spoiler, and perhaps with a nice flush light kit would wear that color well.

Plain white sucks, but a highly pearlecent white rocks. I'd do a three stage white with lots of pearl.

its whatever color you like man. dont go by what people think.
personally i love white and white FD's look tight {i own a white FD). white is not flashy and not as many people notice you with is good and bad sometimes. if i had to choose between 2 colors it would have to be between white or black. .
just my 2 cents.

white

Mine is white, and it gets attention wherever it goes. I am constantly asked "What kind of car is that?"

Yeah, I mean seriously ... are you trying to be you, or are you trying to be everyone else? I didn't really see anyone saying that they didn't like white FDs ... I just don't like the factory bleached white (on any car), but I do like off-white colors as it seems Malachi151 agrees. If you really want what a bunch of cats on this board seem to think is "tyte," then your FD is due for a Sapphire Azul Pearl Kandy Glitter Blue ***** Metallic paint job.

And attention garnered from automobiles (and possessions) is bad. My car is black ... thank God.
