"once you go black, you never go back"

ALI

 

<<i'm just not a big fan of white. it looks plain IMO.>>

forget that...im sayin man..ur brave for havin ur FD outside where it snows...

u dont even wanna know wut happened to me the ONE time i had my FD out and it snowed.... now THERE'S a horror story...

 

That was after a huge snow storm up here... first nice day in months when the snow was melting ... i was going through withdraws. Besides its sits in the garage most of the time and barely gets driven in the rain.

 

7 sins...ur in manassas? in that case, i totally understand wut u mean man.

im in nothern VA too...and yes...i couldn't have described it any better..."withdrawal symptoms" lol

it really gets to me tho...cuz for like 6 months u got too much intermittent snow and sleet, so it just sits there...and the 6 months of clear we get here, well..most of those are spent in and out of the shop haha

 

one more thing..

7 sins...were u at or rite near the rosenthal tysons mazda dealership like a week or so ago? rite off route 7? cuz i saw a white FD passin on front of there...and that's the 1st white FD ive seen in NoVa...

 

usually not by tysons too much... I was there today with a friend and his X-8. Pretty much stay around Manassas/Fairfax area.

 

Right on! 'WHEN CLEAN" The magic word.

I can only admire it for about 5 minutes after the detail job's done.

 

k since we're on that topic...

i was checkin out some sites a cpl days ago, and i came across this site:
http://www.5starshine.com/

it was featured in some car magazine i believe..they claim that if u put this stuff on ur car, u wont have to wax ur car for years or somethin like that... that it lasts over 150 car washes...and any dirt that gets on it can be washed off w/ only water. im hopin someone knows if this stuff is legit, or it's a hoax...cuz if it's real, that would make keepin our black FDs clean SOOOO much easier...

thanx

 

Yellow!

hands down.

 

That's teflon! It's DAMN hard to remove, which is why it lasts so long. If you have to repaint your car, you'll get fisheyes from the remnants.

oh lol. i had no idea.
so i take it it's not a good idea? they don't have somethin 2 remove it easily?

cuz short of that...ur pretty much stuck w/ washin ur car like every 20 min lol (im open 4 all suggestions....)

 

here's my '95 R2... you tell me black isn't sexy

 

Either when clean, or driving at night.

 

My two favorites are white and silver. There is NOTHING prettier than a white FD at night.

I couldn't own yellow car. Just couldn't do it

There was never a Montego Blue R1 or R2

 

Innocent blue mica definitely.

 

definitly CYM... second to that though is definitly silver, those things are beautiful

 

Well, I've never heard of anything that easily removes teflon. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist though.

Try this stuff.

On my car, if it's just collects dust from the car cover, I just rinse the car off and go for a drive to dry it. It doesn't waterspot like a typical wax does.

 

Snow White Pearl Mica...i just am in love with that color. but yeah all the colors look great when they are maintained!!

 

1. Yellow or White
2. Red

 

My FD is red, but have owned black also. They both look really nice if washed and wax a lot. However, both colors FADE/OXIDIZE easily. I recently bought a white car.. and it is practically maintance free. No water stains or fading. However, chrome on anything looks good. Preference in order...white, black, then red.

 

My FD was black, but it didn't seperate it from every other FD. Now it is Audi TT Grey (Grey w/ white-green pearl) now my car is different.

 

Northwest FD3S...that's def. very different.. very unique. i cant say i dont like it...but it'll take a lil while to get to love it =)

i think it's cuz it's a somewhat dull or flat color...in grays, i like more of a metalic look..like that veilside combat grey i think it's called..that's HOT

 

not trying to bust on your car, but your paint color makes the car look like it's primered...

 

Definitely white.. a rare beast indeed

 

definately black
