pictures of IBM paint in low light?
if this should be in a different section, mods, by all means move it... just that it was FD related.
Anyway, the only pictures i can find of IBM in low light are pictures from mazda... the paint looks to loose its metalic nature in the dark, as well as get much darker. it seems to be a softer/darker/flatter blue (without the slight greenish tinge + light blue, that comes out in bright sunlight) but you know how it is... it never looks the same as in the brochure... so i was wondering (since there are a fair amount of people with IBM FD's here) if anyone has pictures in lower light, basically im wondering what the car will look like when i normally take her out (at night)
thanks, heath

yeah same here... but ive seen it get even more extreem, almost teal green in bright light and, really flat blue in darker light..... just want to know exactly what im getting my self into, and im trying ot decide if i will get sick of it or not.... its either this or the dark silver metalic
sorry for the crap load of pictures... i wanted to show the many faces of Innocent Blue Mica.... although i have a feeling the car looks completely different at night (anyone have night shots?????)

thanks mahjik. i can kind of imagine that it would be like a navy blue at night. anyway, im pretty convinced that this is the color for me.... im worried that maybe ill get sick of it though, but i really love it.
titanium grey matalic is the other option im thinking about... its a nice basic color, nothing that anyone would really get sick of, and makes the FD look really stoic and strong. however it lacks a personality like the IBM... IBM seems somewhat somber, and humbled... not what youd expect from a supercar (well neither is the grey).
... when i think of supercar (ferrari etc) i think of yellow and red, not blue. Thats what i like about the blue, its not pretentious, and its kinda mysterious (like the rotary). the overinflated ego stuff is removed w/ the blue, and all you are left with is to focus on the car's lines and preformance (i think this applies to TGM to). its not screaming "look at me" but is more than capable of handing the owner of a pretentious car, 5 times its price, his ***

And yes IBM looks good on the FC's also.

I know what color I'm painting my Harbor Blue FC now
edit: I'm just wondering how it'd look with the blue interior though....
