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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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