Poll: Best color for a FD

Black is normally my favorite color, but this car has such beautiful lines that black seems like it wouldn't highlight them as much as another color like silver or red. Post your thoughts!

I am very partial to MBM, but you al will find out why soon enough...

But the color that shows the lines of this car the best is Silver IMO. if i ever have 2, the second one will be silver.

I'm a Silverstone, but I voted CYM because of its rareness. It's also one of the few cars that I like in yellow.

this is going 2 turn into a "what color is your fd" poll

they all look great. and black doesn't hide the lines if u're worried about that.

for a stock bodied fd i'd go with black, silver, red, yellow or white.. i don't think mbm looks as good on a fd.. it looks too "90's" (don't kill me )

Do you have any closeups/hi-res pictures of your car?

I think black makes the car look sexy and cool - stealthy
but red is your typical flashy sports car

I voted for silver cause i just love a nice silver FD. But i also love red and i found a red so i got that. Plus red is like the original color for a sports car. It will always turn heads.
