What color FD3S would you buy?
 
Whats up gang, im about to purchase my second FD, its been 9 years since I sold my first one!

I know its opinion but if you were in the market what color FD would you buy, either RED, SILVER, or BLACK???

purerx7 02-22-10 05:54 PM

Black. However, I would choose CYM if I had to do it all over again.

Sorry, but if you look at my posts and when I joined you'll see im a rookie, lol. what is CYM ?

MOBEONER 02-22-10 06:07 PM

cym Is a factory yellow.

It all depends on what you want to do with the car. some guys want the rare color FDs because they are more valuable. I got me a red one because i got it at a good price. If it where my true choice i would have gotten a White or yellow FD.

JStrib 02-22-10 06:18 PM

Out of the options above, I'd go silver with the red interior. In good condition of course. They're really good looking cars in my opinion. I'm all about the white FD though. ;)

FDSeoul 02-22-10 06:19 PM

I want a white one to start all over;)

Mahjik 02-22-10 06:23 PM

My order would be (same as when I bought mine many years ago):

1. (BB) Black
2. (VR) Red
3. (SSM) Silver

I like white and yellow cars, but I don't want to own one. I've never been a fan of (MB) blue, but an FD is an FD. ;)

Chomper149 02-22-10 06:25 PM

id probably get the newer 99+ blue mica, i think. its hard to say since the fd looks good in almost every color

FD3S-K 02-22-10 06:27 PM

Montego Blue!

but out of your list black.

Force13B 02-22-10 06:36 PM

Pink!

GreatShamanGT 02-22-10 06:43 PM

I'd get the rarest color FD, which is Montego Blue


=P

TimeMachine 02-22-10 07:07 PM

Once you go white your pants get tight.

DaleClark 02-22-10 07:22 PM

When I bought my car, I made a list of colors I *didn't* want. Much easier to take it that direction.

The real issue comes with finding a solid, clean, quality FD that's in your price range. Color has to take a back seat to that.

BTW, I have a black FD, and I do like how it looks, but keeping black up is SUCH a pain in the ass. Always looks dirty, shows tiny scratches and blemishes so easily....it's definitely not a forgiving color.

anees 02-22-10 07:22 PM

white :)

KaiFD3S 02-22-10 07:32 PM

With those choices I would go Black, red then silver, I say black because if you ever wanted to go wingless it is the best color for it...

Prometheus 02-22-10 07:33 PM

I have a black FD currently, my next FD will be white.

XLR8 02-22-10 07:44 PM

MB....

I may be biased ;)

widebodyseven 02-22-10 08:11 PM

In this order...

1-silver
2-red
3-black

Mr. GTUs 02-22-10 08:18 PM

when i was choosing a color i wanted
1st white
2nd black
and 3rd silver
i ended up with silver because it was the only clean one i could find at the time

grimple1 02-22-10 10:52 PM

CYM. In person they look amazing.

joe_yoh 02-22-10 10:57 PM

I will go for black, of course. lol

staticguitar313 02-23-10 12:09 AM

I'm stock with red, and i'm not against it, draws a LOT of attention though.

Miata_mx5 02-23-10 12:10 AM

Sunburst Yellow

Drifter288 02-23-10 01:33 AM

silver

BoostedPenguin 02-23-10 01:48 AM

got the color I wanted, CYM. My Dream car.

Ceylon 02-23-10 02:12 AM

Chaste white, but out of your list its hard to choose. If you're keeping it stock body, I'd go SSM. If you're going 99, I'd go VR.

unreal-icarus 02-23-10 02:20 AM

black! the red factory paint is bleaching out a lot and really looks like shit after a few years

Fortune_Seven 02-23-10 03:06 AM

SSM or BB IMOP

Deerod021 02-23-10 08:36 AM

yea i might be down to white black or silver, whats SSM?

deletedcold 02-23-10 08:44 AM

If i had the choice it would have been white but the one i found was so damn clean and it was my 2nd choice black.

Chris_V 02-23-10 09:41 AM

SSM- Silverstone metallic

mrb63083 02-23-10 11:27 AM

Question is; what color do you want. That's all that matters.

MuRCieLaGo 02-23-10 11:31 AM

1. VR (Red)
2. SSM (Silver)
3. BB (Black)


... but CYM is the most beautiful color, just like in the first Need for Speed!

ptrhahn 02-23-10 11:35 AM

I certainly always wanted the SSM I have... the one problem with it being that it's tough to match silver if you want to touch up panels, or add aftermarket body stuff.

I'd love a CYM but it's not the holy grail to me as it is to some.

BB/MB are cool, but particularly black hides the tail light design, which I think is one of the best parts.

White looks great, but I don't like the factory white. It's sort of an antique/off white, and can look dingy. Shame. If it were more Porsche Arctic White or the factory Pearly White, it would be better.

EvanchiX 02-23-10 01:54 PM

Definitely blue, so I am painting my 7.

Problem solved

Montego 02-23-10 02:22 PM

Given FDs are now 14-17 years old ( in the states) your best bet is to look for the cleanest FD you can afford and then paint it the color you want.



Though white is by far my favorite, I didn't repaint mine that color because I'm not a white car kinda guy. Instead I changed the original montego blue to 06 corvette yellow, not CYM (I'm just not a fan of that shade of yellow) .

redrider13 02-23-10 03:22 PM

Montego blue w/ black interior
or
Black on black

KKMpunkrock2011 02-23-10 03:30 PM

silver black or white, montego blue can be thrown in also if it's in excellent condition, however as they are few and far between, one of the first three, I may also consider red again. I don't want a cym for what it's worth, I don't like yellow.

93rx74lyfe 02-23-10 04:09 PM

The FD looks great in any shade, but here is my list any way.

1.CYM
2.CYM
3.CYM

Get my drift? ;)

Agreed. It could be shit brown and still look better than any other sports car. Lines are simply perfect....

93rx74lyfe 02-23-10 04:35 PM

Very, very true!

Deerod021 02-23-10 04:51 PM

like i said ill be purchasing withing the next couple months, i think im going with either white or silver. Love black but so hard to keep that color clean plus it does hide the rear cluster a bit.

Now the next step is finding one with a clean interior and a sound engine.

My best advice would be to take your time and be prepared to travel...

2RotorsNaDream 02-23-10 05:51 PM

Out of the colors in your list I'd go with black.

Out of all OEM colors I'd go with '99 spec Innocent Blue Mica...wait a minute, I already painted my car that color...

Umm I'm pretty sure CYM is the rarest color:scratch:

My choice would be the blue that I already painted mine:nod:

FD3S2005 02-23-10 07:10 PM

FD3S2005, your FD is so clean bro, the chances of me or anyone finding a yellow one in that condition is slim to none. THats why im down to silver white or black. By the way is that original paint???
