Love this color! Been contemplating going with it since I first saw the ISF. I might make this my big mod for next spring. Did you ever get the engine bay matched too or is it still DG?

Hey if you are trying to find a powder that will match your blue check out my progress thread in the last page I have a pic of like 6 powder samples. I think that the one I went with for my engine bay would match very well.
PM me if you need any help with that

I just had my 03 coupe repainted. It was CB and i went with the GTR Deep Blue Pearl. I like the ISF blue and was even thinking about the Iridium Blue from the new FX35.

It does work extremely well. Good choice and I've always been a fan of the FX. Great inspiration

ya i was stuck between a couple of different colors to do the brakes in and after searching the forums and many random pics i decided that yellow was definitely the way to go, i wanted something that was going to pop and not be hidden behind the wheels.

i really havent seen that many yellow akebonos, especially on the blue. i think mike actually does have a color match for the cb in his powdercoat collection so you could always color match with black/silver logos, thats what i was originally going to do but he didnt have an exact match to the isf blue. the orange would definitely be different and stand out though for sure
