Not in the USDM or Canada but, yes, you could get a DC2 ITR in silver.

Still an R

Sometimes one color was given different names in different markets. If it's the same color code, it's the same color.

It's also possible that someone repainted an entire car. Obviously, you can do that with any color you like, including one that wasn't a factory color. You can even give it whatever name you like.

I'd love to see a blue ITR. Not too bright, not too dark, not a purplish blue... just blue. Like the Long Beach Blue Pearl on the '02-05 NSX pictured below. Anyone here good with photoshop?

the reason i asked is because i was playing GT4 this morning and found a ITR in VSM, i know i shouldnt rely on a video game, but i would think GT4 is pretty reliable since they dont rice out cars or make up BS

Some say it is.

It's also an exterior color used on the '97-99 NSX. I think it was sold under a different name in Europe... I wonder why?

USDM ITR wheels are Gunmetal not Kaiser silver.

As far as color is concerned, i personally like Milano Red and the blue in the following picture:

I think this is a resprayed EUDM ITR.


This one is a four-lug, so it might not be an ITR, but it`s still nice.

Now I think that blue is far more appealing than silver
