Default How rare are Black JDM Hawks?

Morning guys,

Just wondering how rare Black JDM Hawks are (STI or Spec C etc.)? I have been keeping an eye out on the market for one (not buying for another year but keeping tabs on the market) and I have barely seen any?

Are the Black variants much more rare? I would go UK for the RB but I love the 2.0l engines a bit better for long term durability etc.

Cheers

W

When I used torque gt to import mine I said I wanted either black or blue.
in the 8month search only 2 blacks came up. One had a dented bonnet and roof so I said no and the other went for crazy money iirc.

It will come it just takes time.

Thanks, good to know, is there more of a premium then from Torque GT if you are requesting? Hard to negotiate against their common stock for example?

Awesome, I know its a year away but was worried there weren't many left. I would ideally want a Spec C so may have to wait for the right one to come along

I said I have a budget of X is that enough. Darren said easily and the ball got rolling.
I hadn't even looked at their stock.

I did about 5 years ago say my budget was Y I had a nice reply saying that's probably not enough.

It costs nothing to enquire.
