I love the look of my FD at night. Especially because my rims are black.



White is the way to go.

I love White FDs. Last year I came really close to selling my VR to start all over on a White.. but I think the wifey would disapprove.

White's a classic and beautiful color on an FD.

Plus its the easiest color to keep looking new. Doesn't show swirl marks or imperfections as easy.

Most def. I just picked up a a Chaste White '94 recently. The color wasn't my first choice nor second *or* third (silver, black, CYM, respectively), but when I saw the car, it was a done deal.

IMO, white on an FD is not very photogenic. In pictures it looks *OK*, even a little blah, but in person, wow, SO clean! No regrets at all.

Yeah, it really is much more impressive in person. The light has to hit it just right for it to look good in pictures. Here are a couple examples:

Yeah, I like the fact that's an off-white color and not too white. It makes the color look richer and deeper.

I wasn't into white cars at all but when I saw mine in the show room, I knew it was the only other color that I would like besides silver.

Back in 2000, it took me 6 months to find a white Rx-7... I'm glad I was patient. It really does look crazy in real life.

I was thinking of going with the new RZ white since I need to get some body work done anyway...what do guys think? If I'm not mistaken, it should be a very bright white.
