I've never seen a green FD in person before but I did see some pictures of one on 7club a couple of months ago.

I love that orange of the FD that caught fire...I want to paint my car that!! But it will probably never happen.

Both would look good I think. If you like them both, I would sit down and figure out what other accents/color I wanted to add to the car and decide based on what you want to do with coordinating the rest of the car and availability of materials to do that.

Paint the driver side green and the passenger side orange, divided down the center of the car. That'd be unique!!!

What type of grey is that do you know? looks cool though.

Today, got the front bumper mounted on, had to cut the middle part of the bumper where the IC (InterCooler) was at,it wouldn't fit so we did that in order to mount it. Looks like my dad cut it a little bit more than he expected its not touching the IC but you can see a gap though. I might get some grilles to cover the IC and the gap.

Here's a quick pic (Cant really see the IC/Gap)

When we picked it up, I told my dad why he had a FC front bumper lol. Its alright I guess, the signals did turn out good though.

Car is still at the shop, Ive decided ill stick with black because (IMO) that orange I was going for would not look good with the front bumper. Also was wondering where I can get a lip for this bumper because im scraping alot from my driveway, I also was at school today and was looking at the driveway to enter the parking lot, its looks like the same angle as my drive way.

Finally this is my final decision on the paint in getting, going with the orange on the RX7 that caught on fire. One problem though... the painter @ Mr. Body Shop said he cant just look at the picture, he needs a color code so he can get the exact measurements something like that. They want me to look at their color chart books from 2001-2012 of factory colors and so far im not liking non so far except this one. So now im on a search on getting this "CODE!" and so far no luck, ive posted help on the 7club and other forums as well. Im also gonna probably gonna powder-coat my rims to black anyone know a good place to get them done?

heres the pic of the car:D
