We were in definite two minds about the respray on OZVR4 and yes, having the black kit is one of the "features" of a Super VR-4. There are actually three Super VR-4 owners in the club and maybe five known existing examples in Australia out of the 800 worldwide. So I actually put it up to a vote on the forums, with 90% of the community saying "yes". Also, "Mitchy" (OZVR4 member) kept his Super VR-4 kit black, so we could have two different examples of the car. The other guy, "Just Plain Nuts" has the EVO-style front bar and is also colour-coded but that was the way it came from Japan.
"Mitchy" and I brought ours over at the same time from Japan. He kept his kit looking stock and it's in great condition but mine was very scuffed and weather-worn.
Here are some links to Mitchy's car:

I'm also a fan of anonymity, so I do value the "Q-Ship" factor as well :)
Goku, I did see a red Super VR-4 four years ago in Auckland, NZ (was in Wellington, NZ last weekend for a mate's wedding actually!) and it was awesome with the two-tone look (black bodykit). Also, if you're also a member of www.clubvr4.com, another of your NZ brethren, "Osiris" had a fantastic modded Super VR-4 with the numberplates "VR FOE" which is also worth checking out.
Cheers for all the feedback though guys.
