Phil you Bastard! lol. I said it once, and I'll say it again: she's preeeeetty. BTW, I honestly don't think that's the stock MB. When you first showed me the pics, I had assumed it was repainted a diff color, cuz that's def. not like any other MB FD I've seen. IMO, it looks a LOT better.

Take care of her man. I wanna c her soon...come visit me!

You were one of the first person that I showed this car to... don't you feel special??

Anyhow, the car have been painted.. I'm sure its not exactly Mazda MB paint.. but I like it alot!! and especially because its not black.

Definitely we need to meet up again.. Maybe you should come down here! I've already been up there once! LOL!

One is my new MB (or what ever color) FD and other black FD w/scoot hood is my first FD that I recently blew coolant seal. Currently the engine is ready and I just need to go up and pick it up and put it in.. Not sure when thats going to be..

Will, thanks a lot. That's the HIGHEST compliment you can give. Only prob is, Phil's stepping it up...and by a LOT. He doesn't have one FD, not two, but THREE! lol. Crucial...

I think he means he likes it a lot cause it's a different color since his other 2 are black FDs

Yep, that's probably the stuff he got from the Harley Davidson store when we were in Montgomery earlier this year.

You should see it in person Ramy, my car is getting repainted at the end of this month, and I'm going to get the paint code that John used when he painted that car. It's a gorgeous color.

Yea...I bet. I def. wanna see it in person. I also have yet to meet you man...long time no talk to you either!

EDIT: You know my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE color tho?? I'm not sure of the name, but I *think* it's called midnight blue?? It's basically a very VERY dark metallic blue w/ silver flakes deep underneath. I think the newer Volvo C70s may come in them as an optional color...that, and the only other car I've ever seen w/ that color was a brand new M3 thta was totally custom at the Carlise Sport Compact show in PA this year. In certain light, it looks jet black...yet in other light, you see the beautiful dark blue, w/ the metallic flake sparkling....wow...

LOL...Thanks Phil. That's basically like saying "Ramy's car is alrite...mine's better, but his seats make his car half-decent" LOL! We'll see about that soon enough! You're not the only one w/ a trick or two up your sleeve he he he

Ramy, all my cars at my house are black except.. the new fd.. My celica is black.. my legend is black.. and my first Fd and my second fd are black.. damn.. too much!! I'm going to get my legend painted once I sell one of the fd's..
Point well taken. That's a lotta black... you keeping the Legend black?
