Default Am I the only one?......

Who owns a blue/purple integra GS-R? It's a 98, and has 71k on it. Actually thinking about selling it, but if it's so rare that no one has one on the board, maybe i'll keep it. One of my friends told me it was supersonic blue, but i can see from other posts that the color name is probably different. Anyway, please reply if you have a purple GS-R like me, thanks.

Very rare! I have only seen one GSR that color. The car was actually for sale at a lot in New Mexico at an AFB there. When I first saw it I thought it was a custom paint job since I had never seen that color before. The owner let me check out the car and said the paint was stock. Someone needs to post a pic of one, especially one that's modified.

There is no Sonic purple...

Supersonic Blue, 98-99 GSRs only. Its not incredibly rare, but you'll see 15 red, 20 black, and 20 white GSRs before you see one SSBP probably.

Theres also Adriatic Blue Pearl on 97-? LS', and Voltage Blue Metallic, which is a lighter blue (awesome, awesome color). I believe VBM was only on LS' in the states, but in Canada they came GSRs as well. Correct me if Im wrong, Im not sure.

Which color is that? I thought that it was a custom color....

I'm going to look at a 98 SSBP GSR today, theres 2 other SSBP GSR's in my town but its still a rare color.

Dark Violet is probably the rarest.

SSBP is next. SSBP was released in 98 as a "special" color to help promote the facelift (front and rear) given to Integras in '98.

It's blue/red. Acura used a multiple layer painted scheme on many of their vehicles.

The one with the JDM front is nice. I see SSB fairly often, but it is definately more rare than the other colors

Is Canucks car custom? I always thought it was VBM...

Anyway, heres another picture of VBM I just dug up:


Awesome color...although I do prefer SSBP. Heres a picture of Dlo's Adriatic Blue Pearl:


And yep, the dark purple color above is "Dark Violet Pearl" I think it was only on 2000 GSRs?
