Most Sought-after FD

I searched and couldn't come up with anything, so what seems to be the trend on FD's as far as what color scheme, package, year, etc. is everyone wanting or wishing they could get their hands on in order of desirability?

And curious, I don't have this combo, but what if a guy had a very disliked color (green) and went ahead and painted his fd the mazda silver which seems to be very popular. Even though it was an aftermarket paint job, would it still pull the attention and demand that the stock painted silver fd's do (if it was a complete job, engine bay, insides of doors, etc), or do people look down apon an aftermarket paint job, even if it is a factory color?

I would say that some may think the most sought after would be the CYM R1s. I personally love the silver with red leather int and would pick that over a CYM. As far as repainting your car, I'd guess people would only problably care they were looking for a true CYM. Also, if the job was done well.

Personally I'd like a '94 or '95 with mileage in the 4 digit range, black with a red interior.

However, I think the market as a whole, as stated above, really goes gaga over the CYM R1s and the white 94-95 cars.

Most sought after FD would be the one that runs reliably....regardless of color or trim package.

Yes, we know. Hence only one made = most sought after FD.

I would go for a white w/ black interior FD if I were to look for another one. I did want black R2 at one point but those white ones grew more on me and are so nice. But I love my oem CYM now almost equally as a white one (if I had a white one).

It's easy to change the exterior of a car by painting it or adding aftermarket parts, but you sit on the inside of it. I really love the black cloth interior in my Base model.
