R50/53 The Official Electric Blue Owner's Club
Hey everybody....I live in Pasadena, CA and we had some trouble recently. A couple of weather fronts collided perfectly to create a hellish windstorm. Lots of damage in the city. Getting down to a minor complaint as compared to some, does anybody have any ideas about removing multiple swirly surface scratches? Falling tree branches really messed up my paint job - mostly the roof (also EB). I can't feel them with a fingernail - they are the type that will disappear when wiped with a wet rag but then reappear when dry. Thanks

(Electric Blue was retired after 2004, at least in the US.)
I'm pretty sure it was 2004--so, they last appeared in the 2005 model year.
EDIT: You are correct, Electric Blue was retired in September, 2005.

Opps, Sorry, I got carried away
My apologies to the Electric Blue group.
Mine is Lightening Blue Metalic. I should have remembered as I just ordered some touch up paint to repair the dings I picked up towing it to Florida from Alaska.

The wheels are HRE 447R brushed finish, 18 X 8. I took off the SSR Competition wheels 18x8 gunmetal finish (can see them in my sig).
I dropped it about 2-2 1/4in, still messing with the height from time to time.. H&R coilovers on it now.
And I'll work on that picture of the steering wheel...

Here is my 241 WHP Electric Blue Baby 




Target is reaching 260 whp somewhere early next year
ATM I'm thinking about exterior mods again.
Aero sideskirts are at the painter, and I'm thinking of CC'ing my headlight surrounds, the grill surrounds, blacking out the beltline, gas cap, doorhandles and side repeaters and change the S to a blue one, painting the calipers blue, JoeyMod the front Xenons and Lamin X the rear lights to Red, wrap my roof and mirrorcaps gloss black and powdercoat the Rota Grids in black as well. At least that should give a different look to the car
Interior is almost done, Blue 4-points are installed and the original seatbelts will be going out soon when I will do the pillars matte black and get an alcantara rooflining in

I'm agreeing there on the no black keep it white,though different is good but the white Just is the rite color with the EB..
On the other side of things my jaw dropped when I saw 241 WHP! Nice and your going up to 260!? Wish I had the cash,and I would actually love to know exactly what got you to 241? Maybe one day I can get her up there..
And please do a night pic with all those halo's that's got to be wicked seeing those in ones rearview as it blue streak blasts buy them.
