you sure that is the real color? The Apex silver has a blueish tint to it and with the right lighting the tint shows through more. And with the combination of the crappy quality photo it could easily look purple-like. Just a thought, but I could be completely wrong.

Originally that's what I thought the "Blue By You" was going to look like. I kinda like that color though!

The rest of the world as far as I remember got that blue and the US were the only ones to get the "BBY". I don't know why they did that though.

"Medium Purple" is what they call it on the UK site.

Yeah, that's the original color. That color is only avaliable in JDM and Europe spec Evo 8s.

Medium purple mica - the color I thought I would get instead of Blue by You. I like BBY - it's like the French Blue or Lance Blue from the VII and VI. When my paint takes a dump (could be any day with Mitsu's crappy job), I will respray the car in medium purple with the blue base coat... should be lovely - 3 or 4 coats of metallic clear on it. Color sand it... YUM YUM
