Decisions Decisions..... (on color)

Since I got to remove the motor I can finally paint the car. Ive got a few decisions.
a) Pearl White with Gold Rims
b) Dark Silver/Grey with some BBS or SSR Comp Rims
c) Dark Blue
d) ?

Everyone has black so I would like to stand out. BTW if you have pics of a car like this please post a link or a pic so I can get more help. Im probably going to go with a 99 spec front.

white with black more so than gold sounds hardcore JDM i think that would be cool, if you don't mind being considered a fanboy. If you get white, with black or gold rims, It's mandatory that they have a fat lip. Otherwise I think it would be cool to see like an Aston Martin green. Class and sportyness, woot

Anyone want to paintshop the above car with Aston Martin Green, I don't think it would look to hot on the 7, since its not a classy car, its a SPORTS car. He he but interesting idea none the less.

Pearl white with bronze rims. By far the sexiest choice out there (if the paint is done right and is not too flashy).

Yes yes, very good choice. Man if I could only have 3 FDs, each different color just so I could choose which ever i prefer more.

I love Montego Blue because it is very "adult-looking," but if I were to change the color, I would probably go with Corvette Electron Blue seen below with Zaino:

LOL, I think he means it isn't a "flashy" color. I want my car to be blue, but I don't like how bright Mazda's IBM or the corvette electron blue are... I have been looking for a nice dark blue and so far Honda's Fiji Blue Pearl is at the top of my list.

Both the Corvette & Honda blue look close enough to IBM that I would just recommend sticking to an OEM Mazda color... heaven forbid the day that you move on to another, the resale is always going to be lower.
As a bonus, you can always get used parts from jt-imports or Rot. Ex. like 99-spec stuff that'll match
That being said, I personally can't tell the difference between the different blues
I've seen an FD locally around here that had the "Lexus IS blue".

Yeah, adult-looking. Like it should belong in a video with hot chicks doing...

Afterburn is right. I'm just talking about the fact that is more subdued and not screaming "OOh, Ooh, look at me!!" (Not that that is always a bad thing.)

Check out the new Porsche yellow...its very close to the cym but slightly darker and brighter. With some black wheels. I saw one on I-95 the other day and it caught my eye instantly....I was drooling, cause it was a Porsche and of the color.
