The pictures do not really do it justice the color is Nissan Daytona Blue and changes with the light. It looks really good!

Wow!
It must be like driving a new care now.
When I started looking for a Spider this time, I had my heart set on blue. I got a great deal on my red one, but I still think blue is a really good color on them.
Very nice.

SWEET! :mrgreen: But, I thought you were originally going for a charcoal grey. :wink: Well, I have a great drive all planed out for you. Just up the freeway and to the left on over to Katy to help me bleed my brakes. I had to take off the MC, again, to get the manifold nuts off. :twisted: Anyways, it looks awesome. I'm very jealous. :D

Hey guys thanks it has been fun and now the real enjoyment will be keeping it up and driving it. Katsi yes that would be fun and I am looking forward to it. I'll tell you it was hard to make the decision on the color, I flip flopped several times until I saw the Nissan running up the road, it was a no brainer. Thanks for the kind words they are very much appreciated.

I painted mine Daytona blue too, I have a thread in the cosmetic section of the forums. Mine isn't Nissan though, and it seems a bit brighter. Great colour though I love it!
