Hmm good question. I just bought a 2005 Nissan 35th Anniversary 350z that was offered in "ultra yellow" only for that year. It's a very similar color to that BRZ I posted. I think resale might actually be higher for that yellow, but it's hard to differentiate the value of the color vs. it being a limited edition run.

I personally love the way it looks though, even on an 8 yr old car. Looks like this:

Very special Z you have there, looks beautiful and complements the car's lines, congrats! And yes, I'd be all in for that yellow on a special edition FR-S.

The track is < 10 miles from the Pacific Ocean, lots of blue around when it isn't foggy.
