[silviaguy240]

I disagree, I think the color looks good in person. Has to go on the right car though.

[CKAMC]

Absolutly gorgeous pignose. I'm painting mine Interlagos Blue from the BMW M3. I hope it comes out looking this clean.

That's the Versace Murci which was an extremely limited run so not sure that its a factory white, even though now that I think about it the only differences on it where mostly interior bits, looks cool as fawk but strictly cosmetic, and what seemed like a vinyl sticker on either side of the car and of course the blk wheels...so maybe it is a stock color.

From what I remember it was sort of pearl-ish compared to the bright white Gallardos I've seen but with all the damn lights in that place and the hot chicks lambo has at their stand its sort of hard to tell.


Ok edit- Found the pics of it real quick and I was mistaken, there were 2 white Murcis there that day, the pearl one was the drop top and the Versace one was the bright one, heres some pics, you can see the difference right away in the first pic..

I have yet to see even a picture of a seafoam green hatch. I think it was only available in '89, and must be incredibly rare.

God I love Fj's. My next car right there.

[axiomatik]

fj's are lame. more gimmicky retro bullshit. interior looks like it was designed by Power Wheels.

[exitspeed]

I believe it's Chip Foose (could be someone else I'm thinking of) has a Root Beer Colored Dodge Viper. Looks sick. I can't find any pics of it though.

no I believe those are the factory option BBS's.

Toyota Speedway Blue
however... mixed in some fine ghost pearl stuff into it. little blue sparkles that you really can't see unless it's nice and sunny and you look at it in person very close....


you can sort of see the little tiny sparke guys in there.


you can see how it looks very bright in the sun and darker in the low sun (I guess that is obvious, right?)



I love it and will paint my next car (if there is such a thing) the same color.

[Gjohnson7]

This is the blue my pignose will be dipped in soon.

are that color and this color the same? I'm slightly color blind so I need some help.

[s14unimog]

That might have been what they were going for but then again its a Silvia too. The description of the color in the game is not the same as mine.
