Well, mine started out as BB, but thanks to fading and failing paint, its now got grey and black fenders. If there is time after I put everything back together, I'll have it painted before I go back up to school, but this might not happen. Josh

There's nothing wrong with VR . I just had my FD totally repainted and had to make a decision on color. I opted to go with the stock VR, b/c the painter (a good friend of mine) recommended it. He said that he had never seen a VR paint job done the proper way--3 stage. Here you can see the diff in the fresh VR vs some others (mine is on the right):

idk if you guys did it on purpose but it looked like you lined up according to like the growth process. starting with the fb, then the fc, then fd but then it gets more in touch with the lip all the way up to yours with the 99 spec front..LOL

btw, nice car

2004: FD color % have changed, as 11 year old cars get repainted by their new owners. Moreover, most likely 1/3 of all 1993 FD's are off the road, burned, wrecked, parted out ( talk to the boys at mazmart).
Mine was BB but a current repaint involves an updated black paint with longerlasting luster and more chip reflective properties.

To insure it won't be miscounted in the next 93 FD survey, I'm changing the name tag to RX -7 efini with no hint of a mazda reference.

Can I see some more pictures of your FD? Haven't seen much since you got your '99 front end.

Rich, your car is awesome! How much did you pay for the paintjob? I just might have to do the same w/ my FD later on.

My vote is for CYM! CYM kicks ***!
