Of the "showy' colours, yellow is my favorite......but my vote goes to Snow White Pearl Mica (17W), the rarest factory colour of all.

I had to send money to Japan for this car, but the wait was worth it.

Oh that's just where that web site said it might be and I figured with there being only one it made scene. Hell of a find thanks.

I would feel bad if I bought a rare(r) color, and then decided that it needed to be painted. Thats why I could never buy a CYM or a montego blue unless they were in pristine condition.

Well I don't know if there was only one made (there is a lot of world outside America), but in any event I'm happy to settle for the silver medal .

1. SSM
2. CYM
3. MB

I personally went with SSM mostly because it is not a common color to see and living in the country when you have a lot of pollen around at certain times of the year it makes cleaning it and keeping it clean not as much of a pain in the ***..

Silver or white: Easier to keep clean, less apt to fade, classic looks, dont attract tickets.

I love the way my BB looks, but know that the darker colors (BB,MB) will cause the front bumper to appear wavy if they sit in the sun too much.

The info on that site is wrong. The Pearl White car belongs to pablo_escobar on the forum. I PM'd him recently about it. I even contacted mazda to see if they wanted to buy it when it was for sale. Pablo said he was going to ls1 it if it isnt sold.

Yeah I found that out. I just figured that mazda would have it since there was only one made.

If these cars ever become collectable he will wanna kick in his own teeth in for going LS1. FD's are rather affordable these days so if I were him I'd store the white one, and get a second one to bastardize.

Actually, I think the car had 60k+ on it. Not exactly mint. Im sure there are better examples in Japan.
