My FD3S is an HPI. Wish you guys could see it in person cuz the camera just can't pick up the little nuances in the paint. In the sun, the paint is kind of a candy grapefruit, but at certain angles you can see a blue and/or purple hue. I also have some gold flake in the paint.

As for the Yokomo Apex'i FD3S, go to www.speedtechrc.com. It's still pretty pricey, and IMO, the Apex FD's are played out.
