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.

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

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.

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.

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...

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...

=P

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

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

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???
