help with color choice.
 
I know this is a personal preference thing but for the life of me I can't decide on a color. I am very tired of silver and it's getting changed, I just don't know to what. Currently black(hate to clean it that much though), white, yellow, or maybe a blue, per my daughter's request, are in the running. The only blue I really like is FDOkinawa's and it's supposed to be IBM but it looks darker than any other one I've seen.

I have a '99 spec wing and '99 spec side skirts on the way. Any suggestions, with pics :), would be great.

Oh and I do have Volk ce28n in gunmetal so take that into account.

Thanks

Ok. Does anyone have a pic of a cym with a '99 wing on it? I haven't been able to find one.

Thanks

i'd go yellow or red.. yellow is initial D style, fantastic looking and red is just, a sporty color.. cop loves it.. =)

As I replyed in your PM, my paint code is the stock IBM. But my friend that painted my car put a lot of extra effort into getting it as deep and flat as possible. A lot of extra color sanding and several coats of clear.

Great pics. Thats the type of thing I need. Now just IBM and white. I have ruled out black.

RE-Amemiya 05-18-07 09:51 PM

Hope this helps some more;

The IBM really changes colors depending on the lighting. Sometimes it appears dark and other times, light. I tried to put a few images in that show that.

If I was gonna change, this would be it.

Thanks again RE-Amemiya. I think IBM is too bright for me after those pics. So this is helping immensely.

i still think the yellow is the greatest, just an eye/head turner. i'd go w/ a bright color, keep it jdm'ish.. u know?? bright colors are always sexy to look at when ur hauling ass down the freeway/highway. =)

True, but it makes it REALLY easy for police to spot you as well, even if they don't get you on radar.

TT_Rotary 05-20-07 07:02 PM

yea, it is a cop catcher, but, dont do over the speed limit and make the cop break his neck.. =) while the other guy, speeds.. lol.

You by chance have any pics of IBMs with '99 spec side skirts? :)

After looking at 7racer's car I am rethinking IBM....

arutha 05-22-07 07:31 AM

I have finally found a decent amount of IBM pics thanks to the Aussies. They seem to have a lot up for sale.
