Blue birds?

Hey im looking for pics of blue formulas. Maybe even the kind with the black plastic bumpers? Im starting to think about this color for my Formula. I was thinking about black racing strip as well. Also what rims go with this color?

Here's Tom Keliher's ride. I know it was repainted, but I'm 99% sure it was painted the original Maui Blue.

Re: Blue birds?

Old thread shame, I would like to see more of the third because of the colors are what I was thinking for my new project. Not the placement of the stripes though.
The photo appears to be flopped. ( unless european powerbulges are on the other side of the hood) HA HA
