Yes, the pearl white is a VERY difficult color to match well, and Cusco FRS is being painted at Five Axis again. This was a rush thing from Cusco to meet the deadline for the track day. It will look 10 times better, and Five Axis is adamant on the match for production kits.

He's a GREAT guy, and I'm sure I'll have an opportunity to present you to him again, more personally. Perhaps in a novice racing school for FRS owners, if you will be willing....

He is a Super Taikyu, Super GT, and various other racing careers that span about 30 years... His journalism that also includes Best Car, Best Motoring Videos since Day 1, and Hot Version and Hyper Rev, Rev Speed and other non-endemic publications featuring cars, also highlight him as one of the most dedicated.

That would be awesome but unfortunately I am in the east coast (VA).

Is it just me or does the paint on the Whiteout tC with the 5 Axis kit not seem to match very well? Sure lighting can play a part but the rest is consistent and it looks the same in other photos.
