I would'nt choose any of those colors if I had the car stripped down and that I could paint it a new color. I would go to like

Titanium, Pearl white or other colors that are not standard with the FD..

That's my view of course you don't have to follow it but it is just nice to be different.

Red unfortunatley even though a very sporty color, was overused by mazda, and therefore everybody has a red FD... Black is somewhat unusual, but not all that rare.. If I had to do it, I might concider a complete spirit-r conversion, which always gets big Ohh's and Ahh's on here. or a Blue, if I was to deviate from the norm...

I'd say do some more looking before you decide, and it all depends on how crazy you want to go, T78Godzilla had a purple FD, and it looked okay....

red FD's are


Chaste White is the champ for FD colors When it is time for a paint job for my FD, I am going to spray it with the Cadillac Escalade Pearl White.

if it's between the two I'd go with black. I saw this sweet Corvette that had an electric blue paint i think that's what he called it anyway it looked really sweet.

I went with ferrari red because I like my fd to stand out. Black looks good after a nice wash but I have a black truck and it stays clean for about a day and I was told that if you are repainting your car after doing some body work, that it will show more flaws with a darker color verses a lighter color. In my opion, red is the color for a true sports car but I suggest you do some searching on the net and find as many fd's that you can in all colors so you can get a idea how yours will turn out. If you want to check my pics, click on my home page. Cardomain is a good place to check if you haven't already.

I prefer black over red, but black is a PITA to maintain. Every speck of dust, every swirl mark, ding, dent, and scratch shows up in the light! I'm with "adam c" - silver(stone) or (chaste) white.
