Question What colour to paint my FD?

My car's in the process of getting a panel work and a respray.At the moment, they are still working on the panel and maybe they won't get it done untill end of next week.

Basically the car will have a set of Vertex kit. Although it may seems stupid, I have told them to paint it yellow. But now I'm just in doubt whether or not to paint it yellow.

Reason being, I love both colours. If I go with yellow, the yellow would be pretty similar to a Lambo's yellow while the white would look something similar to Immamura's Apex-i FD. But then again, I've seen so many white FDs here in Australia although I must admit i love white as much as I love yellow.

OK, we've all seen how white FD looks hawt in white. But how about yellow? I personally love yellow but I'm not sure how it's going turn out when ready (in reality rather than just photoshop).

So, many please with sugar on top. What do you guys think I should paint my FD?



note: Maybe it looks "cool" with the stickers. But what if it's just plain white?

I would choose the yellow, the white is just to plain.

Are you limited to just yellow and white? I vote Steel Mist Grey. I don't see many FD's in that color.

Do what ever color you REALLY want it to be. But For me, I'd pick yellow ,because its not as Common as a White.
