Shawn's Ultramarine AT

I am not a first 86 winner but I lucked into an FR-S when one of the first 86ers backed out of the deal! I am loving every minute of this thing.

I was not sure of this color when looking at the pics online but man when I saw it in person I knew I had to have it! This car is a stunner.





I love the car the way it is but I'm thinking about adding the fixe axis spoiler and maybe some bigger wheels down the line.

Congrats. The Five Axis spoiler is going to be my first mod also. Nice that it installs with 3M tape and requires no drilling into the trunk.

Exactly! The 3m tape makes it so much easier.

Congrats!

I think Ultramarine, like Asphalt, really has to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.

Congratulations. Not only you have one of the best colors, but also you posted the best photo for this color I have seen so far. Great job.

I'm also waiting for a similar car, same color, but with MT instead of AT.

Please post more pictures if you would not mind. Thanks.

Haha, sadly no jungle for me. We have a lot of trees and colorful flowers in Connecticut.

So true. It has nice depth and pearl that don't come through fully in pictures.
