I have white, but sometimes I wish I had black. But I like my white 99% of the time.

Hmmm I live in TX, so I think I'll wish I had black right until the day summer starts again.

Well They didnt have black available when I got my ep. Silver was my second choice So I was still happy. :D I understand black is hard to keep clean anyways and I dont always have time.

Here is a unexciting picture of my stock ep..Oh wait I'm not stock now,I got new tires (not in picture) LOL does that count? :)

I wish I had gotten silver, but at the time all they had was a riced out one, complete with big vinyl graphics on the side. :(

Yeah, sometimes i also wish that I had gotten black... Oh wait! I did! MUAHAHAHA! Haha, yeah, I love my black, it is so nice when it is clean, its just keeping it clean that is tough... But I love my car, theres nothing better than spending 45 minutes groping the sexy curves of my car with a soapy wash mitt...

to tell u the truth.. i like all the colors. the dealer had a silver and a white. i chose the silver cuz it had lower miles (not that it mattered). Anyway, i wouldn't have minded getting any color. Although if they had a grey color or that milano red, i'd be all over those.

I'm happy with my black EP. I always wanted a black car, and given the extra need to keep it clean it might as well be a small car.

Red does look very sharp I must say, but it's such an attention (read Cop) magnet. When clean it's such a glossy lipstick red.

Love my silver, I have a history with and like silver on cars as a general rule, but whenever I see a really clean black ep I get a little envious. I also like the vivid blue pearl a lot but it wasn't avail. on an 02 model.

Still think silver is the way to go...for me. Our cars look good in all their colors, though I personally am not a fan of the piss gold, it makes kind of a cool statement.

Hey u guys remember that photochop of a hyper gunmental ep?. Thats a hot color. But I still love my black beauty. Sometimes i wish i had white then i realize its harder to see me at night with my black car.

Once You Go Black You Never Go Back

huh? hell no, once you go black u never go back? For me, I'll NEVER look back, heheh. I had a black del sol back then, new paint job and it looks horriable when you have some imprefection.

I have silver now, it was my first choice, but I'm not 100% satified. After hearing my girl friend telling me silver is a VERY common color for any car. I be like, hmm.... true, very true. Then a few days later, WHAT? A 70 year old lady is driving a EP and it's silver? NO!!!!! Now I rather have white instead. That's my second choice of color. Then I saw a blue EP on the road. I be like damn.... that color is sweet. Dumb ass bought the car and did a custom paint on it already. I guess I was the du-mass. Later I realize that is a stock color. I was mislead by the web site on the blue color. I so wish I got blue instead. It just bugs me when I see a blue EP now. Only way to make me happy now is to a custom color and shave my attenena.

for me it was either white or black. the dealer had a white one so i got a white one. black's the best color when clean, worst when dirty. white is good.

I love my silver car, although at times I wish I got white instead. Then the other times, I wish I got black so I can get the CTR kit.

wish I would have gotten white or red.
I have yet to see someone driving a red one around here (in Canada)

I wanted white really bad. Nobody had any white ones. My buddy convinced me that since the black is the only US color that matches the Type-R color, that it is obviously the best. It looks great when clean... but even after cleaning sometimes... damn you water spots!

I still kinda wish I had been able to find a white one.

my car is white.. but i pretty much get any other color besides sliver... sorry for the peeps that have sliver.. but i'm not feeling that color no more.. no offense... =|

Bought the "Silver", wanted the "Red" (Not Available) ,will never own another "Black" vehicle, clean the card drive two miles from home and it's dirty. I like the white also, but if I had to do it all over again I would probably end up with the silver again. Just wish that the color would match with the JDM body parts.

originally bought black, had a turn of events and got white the second time around. Everyone who saw both cars loves the white sooo much more, white is definately the best color for this car...

When i bought my LX i wanted silver so bad, but they didnt have it, so I got white.

When i bought my SI I wanted white so bad so I could hook up the Type R image , but they didnt have it so I went silver.

Then i went thru the black phase, and overall. I'm happy with the silver it is the best color i feel. But black is always nice.


What about red :'(

i have a white one.. but after looking at how clean black can be... i might have to say if not my white one, then definitely a black EP.

the dealership had every color except the one i wanted... i test drove a black one and it looked super cool... the silver one was cool too... the blue one was just too blue for me... i always wanted a white car, so i didn't settle for anything less. the salesman was trying to convince me that silver and white are the same... i have a white SI and i wouldn't trade it for any other color.

Damn I dont think you can go wrong with black.... but now that I think of it I kinda wish I got white.

When I went to the dealer all they had was 2 silver, 2 black, and a blue. I told them I wouldn't buy one unless it was white:D . My 01 and 02 civic Ex's were black and I can honestly say I will NEVER buy a black car again:eek: Needless to say I love my white EP and an added bonus is that you don't see many white EPs around which makes it rarer in my eyes:p

US Colors ranked by choice:

- Black: pain to keep clean, true, but holy cow, when it IS clean...
- Blue: looks good, and heck, blue's my favorite color;
- White: just looks darned nice;
- Euro Yellow, or whatever it's called: I'm obviously in the minority, but I think it looks good, and it's definitely unique;
- Silver: still looks good, but just not for me.

Blue, white, yellow, and silver all look good to me. The black, though -- I just keep turning back to look at it again whenever I park.

I wanted a silver one, but the dealer didn't have one. I was set to buy a black one (2nd choice) the next day. Go to the dealer and the salesman says a silver one was just offloaded from the truck that morning. So I got my first choice, but black when clean looks soooooooo good :tongue:. My EP needs a wash badly, but you can't tell at a quick glance.;)

Ditto! However, my first choice was white but none were available at the time. Black is great when clean! I also would like red, but only a few lucky CTR and SIR peeps got those. Doh!

I asked my co-worker why he got a black RX-8 and he told me, "The thing about a black car is, even when it's dirty, it's still black."

When I was buying my black si, a dealer in the next city had one in white for $1600 less. But at the time I was set against getting a white one. Now that I have the black, I love it about 75% of the time. The white one is looking better and better too. :) Man I should have bought the white one and spent $1600 on parts!!

isnt the general rule of color and sizes of car; little speedy cars look better in bright colors yellow, white, silver and big cars look better in black and dark color?

Some Canadian, please fill us in on the details. I'm surprised folks in Seattle and Detroit aren't buying more Milano reds North of the border and bringing them home. With NAFTA, there should be no duties, right?

I love the blue color, and in Arizona, the sunlight makes the blue glisten!! I love seeing that. But when I saw Hondamans car, I just about jumped out of my seat asking myself "why, why didn't I get black?" So, to make up for that I am planning on painting my EG hatch black :P
