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!

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.
