sup all: while i'm deciding which color to pain the FD, i was almost certain w/ IBM, but then saw this "suzuka blue metallic' colored S2000, what are opinions of that on a FD? Thanks







Perhaps maybe a little bit darker however? Saw it in person though and it looked 'good enough' --> Just trying to look for an alternative from the repainted blue FDs out there

Thanks!

I personally think that color is a little too purple/light bluish....
FD's get mistaken for being "cute" and Miata-like as it is, so i'd stay away from that. If you just want to be a little different (which is always good) then why not go spirit-r gray/gunmetal.... or sunburst yellow?
Actually, there aren't too many IBM's out there.

 

I think it is also too light...

but I just saw the new rx-8 "blue" color...

I think I am going to do that!!!

 

Hmmm...I think it is a bit pale too.

 

Here you go mate....its your lucky day. This is what your FD will look like painted like that.

 

I personally like the Suzuka Blue. Although, you would have to live with people calling your car "periwinkle"

I think I have a really good pic of a Suzuka blue FD at work. I'll see if I do; I can post it on Monday. I thought it looked really nice.

 

I think I have pictures of the same car. It's on my laptop. I'll try to connect it to my home network and upload them later. Personally I think the color looks faded/old. Someone painted a FD Lapis porsche blue recently. I prefer that.

 

Wow thats tight! Is that a Photoshop job? Or there are already others with the same color?

CCarlisi and large_x7:
If you two could post some pix of that FD that would be great! Or is that car on the forum if i search? (I'll try now, heh.)

Thanks!

 

No I dont have photo shop...I got that pic off a webpage some where.

 

Yeah I can't find it on my hard drive. I saw it on a web page somewhere is all I remember. Can't remember where, though. If I stumble across it again I'll be sure to point you towards it.

 

isnt crashunit's car this color? or something close to it?

granted, his car is anything but stock... but still gives an idea...
