Flat Pearl White
Sounds confusing huh? But it looks damn good! Saw this over at I put in WORK and had to go digging for more pix. It’s Flat Glacier Pearl White, I don’t pretend to know much about automotive painting but if I had to guess I would say it was painted standard Glacier Pearl White and then a flat clear was used. I bet it looks mean in person and the white and black scheme works very well. If you’re wondering about the fender stripes you’ve probably seen before, there is tradition behind them. In the 60’s when multiple car race teams were becoming common and the cars carried identical liveries, teams would use the fender or sometimes nose stripes to distinguish between drivers as they flashed by the pits. This is also why when they are properly applied they are only on the driver’s side. This particular style of two slanted stripes were first made famous on the 1963 Grand Sport Corvettes which is why you usually see them on Corvettes and sometimes F bodies.

1st pic looks so nice, then he fucked it up with those 2nd set of wheels and those horrible fender stripes.

I agree with the wheels. Not my cup of tea, the silver set did look better. But the fender stripes I like. If they had only been going toward the back of the car they would have been better executed i.e. flow of the car instead of against it and the speed it probably has.
One other thing I don’t like about most RSX aero is that it omits the top nose grill. It’s such a part of the body style to have that opening. When it’s omited, it’s like it loses distinction.
