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.

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) .

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.

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.

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...

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???
