Don't like MB at all...FD should come in sporty colors only...at least IMHO...

Well I think SleepR1 is a nut. MB is a much more mature color and looks great on the FD Only one I would pick over it is CYM, but then I'd attract too much attention for daily driving.

i hate montego blue
yellow is much better
royal blue would be nice
black is ordinary but good
red is too pale of a red and looks pink in sunlight
mine is my favorite color

Brand new CYM looks incredible, but I think the best color by far would be a dark red. That would make it looks so mean.

i saw the montego blue once, its a very cool color, although it kinda hides the curves of the fd.... i like my sliver cause its kinda sporty.... but ive always been a yellow car kinda guy

Silver!!!

CYM is hot, but don't think I could pull off a yellow car on the street...track, different story!

BLACK is just sexy, probably the best looking exterior modded FD's

Montego Blue is a great color, I also like silver and CYM. (top 3 colors in my book) My R-1 is painted Porsche Black Mettalic (almost a sand looking flake) with Mercedes silver mettalic stripes. Some people absoluetly love it, some tell me I shouldn't have gotten it striped, but I am happy and it gets tons of attention anywhere it goes.

MB looks pretty good if it's nice and clean on a cloudly day. It can look pretty bad without wax on it on a sunny day though.

I really like MB (which is what I have). If I had to pick another color it would be silver. When looking for my car I wanted either silver or mb

Of course I love BB.

1. MB Rules of course I am not tooooo prejudiced.

I think it is the absolute coolest OEM trick paint on the market. Like was said before: how do you beat a car paint that is subtle and changes with the amount and angle of the light hitting it.

2. Rosso Corsa (see Drpjm1's car) which is a racing Ferrari Red.

3. RX-8 Red with the heavy mica.

4. CYM

5. VR

6. White

7. Black (especially if someone throws enough metal in the paint)

8. Silver
