I have a dark blue 93' S13 hatch. The color changes in the light a little from different angles. It doesn't look OEM but is. I have been asked several times if it is a stock color. The color code is TK3 G. Hope this helps. Nick

Yeah I have pics. The pics I have don't do any justice untill the sun is out and from different angles. These are from a couple of months ago shots taken after a wash in the evening.

Are you talking about the read marker lights on the side? I really didn't notice them when I bought my first 240 but they were all blown out. I drove around 6 months untill I finally decided to replace them. I never recieved a ticket or have been pulled over for them being out. I guess if you made it look clean when you remove them, it would be like they were never there. I live in Indiana by the way, and that the parents house. I wish it was mine. Nick

THe local Exxon charged my roommate $20 to replace the side markers bulbs. The guy said it was necessary to pass MD state inspection.

well i checked with sherman williams on the paint code. Its just TK3. Aparently the nissan truck had the same color code. The truck had sapphire blue pearl. Your car has SUPERIOR BLUE MET?whats the met part? metalic? Your car doesn't seem very "metalic" lol. your color was used in 1992 - 1996

at anyrate thank you much for the color code. Its a perfect blue between dark and light :ylsuper

I wonder if the reason its needed there is becuase on most newer cars they have the headlights molded some on the side of the car so it covers the side break light :confused:

The extra G is the trim I think. Thanks for the info on my paint, I can now say its stock paint and be proud of it. I will be repainting my car soon too, OEM paint for me. Thanks. Nick

574-240sx,

You're car is so beautiful. My ish has 1 major dent to the passenger side door/rear quarter panel + random many a-random-o-dents and rust all over the place. I was thinking of getting the 240 repainted that same OEM bluish color or Pepsi Blue like the the 350z or Chamelion paint. ekek j/k
