I know this has been covered before, but which color suits the integra better, or is the difference minimal? I've never seen them side by side. Trying to decide between the two for my upcoming purchase. Any comments are appreciated

We're talking about GSRs here, right?

Color flame war! Yay!

hahaha

RS I think.

 

PY!

They're both nice looking colors IMO. I like the blue in the NBP paint.

Where is the poll response for "difference is minimal"?

Poor poll design.

 

FBP! -- it seems "warmer" because it has less blue flake, in the same way that cw seems warmer than, say, tafetta white.

 

Blk is Blk, both a bitch to keep up with in cleaning and see every fine scratches.

 

Personally I do not care for those moments when the extra blue flake shows up in the 2001 NHB colour.

I prefer the blacker 2000 FBP colour.

This is irony because I once owned a 1998 GS-R that was "Supersonic Blue." This was one of those weird colours that could look anything from solid medium-dark blue to purple, depending on the temperature and whether or not the sun was out.

Maybe this was an obscure Honda joke.

The car's so fast it has a red shift?

 

NHBP

Haha, thanks dad.........I'll remember that for next time

It's seems as if everyone is going FBP but the poll reads otherwise.

 

Flamenco Black Pearl is a good color...

 

My EM1 was FBP ..... how i miss that car at times

 

I thought FBP (00') had the blue tints in it? (As you can see I'm a phoenix yellow guy, no mistaking that color )

P.S. I just searched and you wouldn't believe the amount of misinformation out there about these two colors. Unbelievable

Of course not, that wouldn't make this R related now would it,

 

My opinion about these two colors is this. 95 percent of the time, in most lighting, they look identical. It's only when there is bright sunlight striking the car at just the right angle that you can see the color of the metal flakes in the paint, as illustrated in the photo above. All the rest of the time, it will just look black. So if you start talking about the color of the flake in the black, anyone other than a true ITR aficionado will look at you strange, like you're talking about something of total insignificance.

I'm not dissing black by saying this. Hey, if you like black cars, then get either one. I'm just saying that most of the time, you're not going to be thinking how much better one black looks than the other black.

 

both look good....flamingo has blue flakes and nighthawk has gold. can't really tell if the sun hits it and you are up close

 

Actually it's "NBP" noob.

When I had my '00 FBP (?) it looked rad so I'd have to say that's second only to Champion(bird)**** White.

 

whoops i meant Flamenco

 

a midori green R would be hot, and a first.

its a $13k dollar car, not a lambo.

It would look awesome with some black Spoons. I don't know the model, but it's the one that Rota knocks off.
