Hi Guys..!!
After missing out on a black soarer I was looking at buying i'm back to the drawing boards on the colour to buy..
It's down to 3:
The Red (with the ivory interior) found one but its miles away.....
The Midnight Blue
Or the White..
Now what annoys me is that I really like the Ivory interiors - they are nice and bright and look more, well, custom than the grey's etc.. But I'll see a white soarer and NOT like it.. then I'll see another and really like and then change my mind by the next day!! Damn white!! Which also makes me like the red as it seems less common to find one!! The midnight blue looks ****-hot when it's clean and polished, but very VERY ordinary when it gets a bit dirty!!
What's everyone's opinion on the colours available and what would be their preference if they had a choice??
(Mods, I did a search and there were way too many hits to pick one..) |

Cant go wrong with white if its a decent paint job. And i love the ivory! Grey ones look like a dental surgery theme. |

If there is no rush on buying one, just wait until another black one comes on the market. |

My car (wine red) also looks great when its clean, but takes only a few days to get very dirty and shabby looking. Still a nice colour, but does require weekly washing. Silver is a very good colour if you aren't so regular with the washing - also gold seems to hold up quite well. |

Personally I actually liked the dark green I had. Alot of ppl refer to it as frog sh*t green.. but I liked it. But to chose from the colors you have options of.. I like the midnight blue the best  |

The Green or (FSG) Is really a nice colour when its been polished and looked after. Or just been resprayed.
I have a green car, but my paint is the worst you will ever see. Im gonna get it resprayed Black when i get the money. (Black looks hot) |

Well mines the deep, midnight Blue sort of colur and apart from the 15 yo paint is past its prime, it still looks sort of ok when polished.
They will ne a 8 coat repaint in original colour coming up after the exhaust/headers from Lew/Ruch and then its just the inside to go.
It actually sort of still looks ok on the picture, but get close and you can see it thinning, brush scratches etc |

There's nothing wrong with the Pearl (it's not really "white") but the red sounds good. I'm a little confused though- I though red Soarers came with black interior. The burgundy (rose) ones came with Ivory interior. If I had a choice that would be the colour I'd go for. I owned a burgundy car for 7 years, they don't show the dirt that badly. certainly not like black cars, which are simply the worst (our other car is black, by the way). The reds (or burgundy) are quite rare compared to Pearl, which is seen as a really upmarket colour by Japanese. You should see how many white (or pearl) cars there are here, where 80-90% of the cars are straight imports from Japan. |

Yeah.. I really DO want black.. But I also had a thought of buying a white one cheap-ish and spraying it black and having black with the ivory interior!! I think that would look crazy!!
Has anyone seen a black one with the ivory interior??
