hehe... you said "tit"

Even though white is rare, I'm not really a big fan of it... makes me think of a rental car for some reason . I personally love the titanium, and would go for that. Get some nice gunmetal wheels to match... yumm.

Why not just change to the even more rare pearly white so that your less obliged to paint all the crannies, engine bay, etc.

White FDs actually look great, even if the original white aint the greatest... i'd either change to the pearl or a porsche arctic white... and run black or black w/ polished lip wheels.

Good luck.

Go with 'snow white pearl mica', the same color as on the 2001 RZ (I'm sure someone has a pic of it with the dark BBS wheels). This should be the same color as used on a 2000 Mazda Millenia. Color code 19A
