Help me pick a color for my FC!

So I'm going to be sending my s5 FC (stock body) into the body shop in a few months and I can't decide on a color. I'm stuck on two choices ATM millenium jade color code JW0 its a skyline R34 color and Ultrasonic blue mica color code 8U1 that comes on the lexus ISF.

If you have any other suggestions feel free to post them, thanks.

millenium jade:




ultrasonic blue mica:

Everybody painting their cars goes with some sort of grey or gunmetal paint. If the blue paint looks anything like the first blue picture in real life/ regular daytime light, I say go for the less common of the two.

I like the Jade if your going with subtle but IMO its too subtle. I agree that if the blue looks like the showroom pic then I'd go with that one. I like to stand out a little but not so much that it paints you as a target lol.

Yup, that is pretty much it. The OP just needs to decide if he wants something subtle (as I would) or something that stands out more (as you would prefer).

Either way it should look great because those are 2 nice colors. And, its and FC for rotary's sake!

Agreed. Either way you go they are both nice colors.

I say that I like it to stand out but when I repaint my FC I plan on just sticking with white. I dont know why but the FC just looks good in white. My FD on the other hand is a different matter lol.

you seriously dont know what colors you like?....can i pick your socks out for ya too?

you either like something or you dont, i dont understand how there can be a gray area there. its kind of like getting kicked it the nuts, you either like it or you dont, and it pretty much an instant choice.

YES! I could not agree more. It's almost as bad as the red interior on the FC.
