Brown looks good on belts, shoes, and bags. I dunno about FDs...

DomFD3S

dubcaps

no brown. Do a nice dark midnight blue, there arent a lot of FDs that color. (montego blues dont count)

brown would look ok, just make sure its a darker brown. be original and go brown.

well if your gonna have a yellow interior and would not suggest painting the car brown. it just wont match.

TurboFD

now i dont hink it would look that good. maybe a coppery brown though..

JadedX

there is to many blue cars out there

brown will look ok, but the inside might need to change


or go with a color no ones got, like me!!!

mazdagirl7

what if you did a dark brown and added a gold flake to the paint? it would look like a nice bronze colour, and it would look great in the sun

twint78

brown body panels, yellow seats and and carbon hood would look good.ive got a shirt that is brown and yellow writing.it looks fine.of course the the seats and interior would not be supersonic yellow like some are thinking.it would be calmed down

I asked a design professor if i could use brown for a design exersize project once. He said, "Sure, so longs as its a hot, exciting brown". There is no such thing, and i used red.

True brown doesn't belong on a car like this, but i did ride in an FD convertable one (custom) that was painted a dark copper, like the color of a penny, and it had a custom tan interior with the leather much lighter than the standard mazda tan. That was an exciting car.

Just say no.

It just does not "fit" on a sports car. A Camry or Buick, maybe - but NOT a sports car.

Resist temptation.

hehe

so my options are down to

plum and lime green(1st choice)

or orange(2nd choice)

Buy the mocha black paint that the New Impreza STis are painted with. I think its called mocha black. Anyway, its a really deepish brown, like coffee, and it has gold flakes in it. So when the light hits, it looks incredible. I believe HOK has something similar.

Lime green

Please dont paint your FD brown,thats ugly as hell especially for a nice sports car like the RX7.Well if thats what you want then get it.What about gold?That would look a hell of alot nicer than turd brown,good luck with the decision.You will have a better chance of getting into a magazine with a Gold FD than a Brown,you clown.

Not everyones goal is to be in a magazine.

twint78

Don't do lime green.....
There was an FD out here near L.A. which was lime green, & Batmobile took some pics of it and posted them. I'll ask him to link 'em so you can see the horror that is Lime Green.
BTW, the lime green won't match the bumblebee interior.... too many colors going on.

Hey, I happen to like my Lime-Green FD!!
It stands out!
Hopefully, I'll be able to make it into a magazine. Say, maybe Hi-Rev Tuners will start one up and make my lime-green fd a featured car. Woohoo!
