Congrats!

I am curious as to why you would want to paint your car CYM. Don't get me wrong, CYM is my favorite color but the only way I would change my car color is if I was also going to do the engine bay, door jams and a bunch of other hidden areas. Best of luck to you and your FD.

IMO,

1. keep it black
2. spend your paint job money on engine and/or
suspension upgrades
3. lose the single wiper look

Nice and congrats on the car!

I agree with the others on the paint job, spend your money else where on the car.

I wanted black, but couldn't find one. I still love Black FD's.

BTW, what's up with the engine? Coolant seals?

congrats car looks great. but beware of painting, i got mine from a friend w/ blown engine and a shitty wanabe CYM painted over Montegue Blue. in the sunlight you could still see the blue (someone too lazy to sand the blue off just sprayed yellow on top of everything. it's taken me two months and i've almost got every piece of that shitty yellow, completely gone) my advise if it's not CYM don't change it besides looks great.

Very nice but get another wiper! I say keep it black. If you want CYM color then get an actual CYM.

haha, 2 wipers like everyone else said, and honestly, if you want to paint it, sell the car and buy one with a shitty paint job. That paint looks perfect in the pics, and would be great for someone who wants to keep it original.

Hey guys, what's wrong with the single wiper look? Functionailty-wise, I think it's better than 2 wipers cause when it's a wipin' it sweeps that water off the winshield in a symmetrical manner. Kinda like our FD's .
