damn dude your supposed to pick a color before it goes to the body shop.


well in any case it all depends on how wild your exterior is.

1. I totally hate it... sorry that particular gray is just too lame for my taste.

2. The orange I dig but it all depends on your exterior mods. With the right exterior touches the car can look amazing. Also if you paint it orange be prepared for some violent reactons from people. You'll get people totally going apeshit with love to people complete hating the car. Hardly anyone in the middle. That's what I get with my car so i would assume orange would amplify those emotions even more.

3. I also like that color. Much tamer and just about any FD will look good.

Why do I focus on the reactions? Well because IMO its a downside of owning an FD with a bright color. I've always liked yellow sports cars so I painted it for me not giving it a second thought. Little did I know that people were going to be chasing me down, snapping pictures, and filming as I'm going down the road. It feels like the freaking paparazzi sometimes lol

The grey in my opinion. To me, the orange is too busy/flashy and I hate blue so of course I am against that.

None of the above, much better color choices out there. If you want to stick to a mazda FD color, IBM can't be beat:



And of course I am a bit biased towards candy apple red

Just an idea fords raptor truck comes in a color it's red with orange pearl in it so when the light hits it the red turns orange looks really sick on the trucks but would look even better on our cars just a thought
