getting an 04 si, how do you like your color?

[Skunk2ner]

i'm very undecided about which color to get. i don't think i want silver, i'm stuck mostly between blue white and black. what color do you all like? and what do you like/dislike about your color?

[Exit117K20]

Personally I have silver and I LOVE IT! but mine is an 03. Take a look at the 04s i htink the new headlights and taillights look best on a black car, as well as the sideskirts, b/c it makes the car that little bit lower and a black car always looks lower to begin with b/c of the shadows

Since I started shopping for a new Si back in fall (2003), there were no white one's in my area, so I was limited to black, silver or blue.

I chose blue since it's the color I prefered on the Si. I do like white as well and black looks great on an Si. I had one black car in my life and I vowed never to have to keep black paint clean again. Silver and white are probably the two easiest colors to keep clean. You can definitely tell when Vivid Blue is dirty and it does show water spots easily. But, it shines up well...

I have a black ep but I wich I got a white ep.

But a black ep that is clean looks the best IMO

[hendo999]

i have a blue ep and i love it, the blue looks so good after a good wash and wax. only problem is dust and dirt show up very easily. only other color i would get is white, which i didnt even consider when i got mine. but i think a nice white ep all cleaned up is gorgeous sometimes i wish i could trade.

[i-vtec04si]

i got my 04 in silver. dark colors are harder to keep clean. and i think the blue is ugly. so my choices at the dealer were blue white and silver. and since the only other ep in town is white 02 i got silver...... but its ur choice man. a ep is a ep no matta what!

[513n179]

man you're stuck between every color... i would say to go with white on an '04. i was out last weekend and i saw a white 04 parked a couple cars down from mine (white '03). black is nice, but you can't hide imperfections very well, blue just doesn't look good to me, silver is a good alternative to white, it doesn't look as dirty between washes... yeah, i say go for the white one... you'll love it.

[dj addicted]

I got a blue 03... and if I totaled my car for some reason.. I would buy another blue one. The blue looks so good with a fresh coat of wax gleaming in the sun...

[masterslim]

I have a black EP, I agree with i-vtec that it is so hard to keep clean, but when it is clean it looks mint!

The pearlescent nighthawk black looks even better in the sunlight.

Did I mention that dirty black cars go faster! ;)

[psylovibe]

i wanted white but i got silver and i like it so much more 10x better =P

[Mugen Power]

I've got a white one and when I was at the dealer, I was hoping they'd have a white or black one in stock. Black looks really nice but I'm still very glad I got a white one. I still don't see too many white ones around and black is just a pain to keep clean. Sure, it looks stunning when it's washed and waxed but after driving it for 10 miles or so, all your hard work will start going down the drain.

[ep pilot]

Got to admit, I love the Nighthawk Black Pearl Ep3 the best, but my silver always looks clean, even when it

[EP-Three]

white rules... It just looks so clean, especially at night. honestly if you're going for looks, the white will turn more heads while driving down the strip.. I had a black civic before my white '04 EP3 and let me tell you, when you wax a black car its gorgeous, but thats only because you're so used to seeing the car all dirty. White IMO is a very clean looking car, it will contrast well with anything. My black civic was all 'go' so I'm done with that, this car I got in white because I want to make it look good, and white is the only way to go IMO...


but do what you want...lol

[civicSIracer]

well.. i had a black 00Si and black looks hott when its clean. ..i got a blue 03 and love it..
i would say
1 blue
2 silver
3 white
4 black
and i would never be cought dead in a urine yellow Si. wtf was honda thinking..

[Ep3 No.2]

white is my 1st choice. like my 1st 03 ep3 was taffetta white. but i got my 04 used and its vivid blue pearl. its not that bad jus causes a lot of attention.

[YooShin]

Got the porn star blue myself. People love it. If I had a choice ( the dealer had nothing but a lot full of the blue) I would have went with the white. Plan on eventually painting it either sunset orange (Honda Element) or a copper.

[kHATCHmEP3]

WHITE EP3 babyy! I got my 02si in white cuz it just looks so FresH, so clean, clean! hehe but of course you have to maintain it clean. I just like it cuz it reminds me of the white CTR that i wish was here in the US. But really, the white looks simple, but yet it'll turn heads..even if its stock. And At night time, IT just stands out like JLO's booty! AMAZING! lol anyway go for the Taffeta White. peaceee

[bao_pay]

I'd get white. My friend bought the red which I hated at first but man it looks awesome now that I see it on the road. If you don't get the white then I'd go with silver because its easiest to clean and dosen't show scratches...

[skooba]

white with jdm honda badges looks very good. add some dark tint, and its the sickest looking of all the colors. blue is my second choice, silver seems to be the color that I always see on the road. so i wouldn't get that.

[BarracksSi]

I can see by the poll results so far that everyone else is pretty evenly split, too.. lol

If you're willing to take the half-hour every week or two to wash it, and wax every month or two, you've got the patience for black, which just looks kickass to me.

The Si is garbage for the money, i own one. For the money you are going to be spending man i would go get a Dodge Neon SRT4 and be boosting. You see these people on here with there Si boosting plus the money they paided for the car on top. The SRT4 cost $19,995.99 and a Si cost what, 17,000 range. a few more thousand dollars and u can get something way better, and the mopar upgrade that u can get later on or at signing if u want cost 1200-1500 and u will be runnning 13.2's. The new 2004 SRT4's come with LSD, and stock they will rape up that person on here that posted about his turbo kit boosting on that video. I have NOS, i rather that over turbo cause i perfer instant power. But if were to get teh Si i would go Blue. or better yet White cause the Si looks better in white when looking for the JDm color or silver. I got a silver and my brother got a White. I am going to get rid of my EP and get a SRT4 or something better. The Si is a waste of money is it a good car for an entry driver. The I-Vtec in it sucks ass also. The Type-S RSX has better I-Vtec. Having an intake in ur Si 02-04 sounds somewhat like Vtec lol. Otherwise i would go with the SRT4 from dodge. way better bang for ur buck. And with beats EVO's i got video of that from my friend witht he evo gettin woped my one with teh mopar stage 1 kits 03 SRT4 and that yr has no LSD. the 04 has LSD, and pulls 13's. Research cars in the price range before buying or making a mistake. I forgot the SRT4's were coming out and i bought a freaking Si that had parts on it from HONDA. Here is the forum will not teh SRT4 forum that for that car only i will get it later but here is another one. dig around and u will see why SRT4 is a better bang for ur bucks. besides like most people u are probably going to get finance and might as will get this one.

Nice troll. :p Last time I checked, Hondas don't come in colors called "SRT4". Stick to the paint topic.

[psylovibe]

it will always be a Dodge Neon

hey man you drive a neon!

[Skunk2ner]

if i wanted an SRT-4 i'd get one dude, they're fuggin' ugly to me. i can count on honda quality too.

go troll around somewhere else. i'm gettin' an Si, so just pick a damn color will ya? hehe.

p.s. - don't kick my ass too hard at the strip, k?

The 2004 SRT is a very good buy. Even has a Torsen axle. I have one friend w/one, and she hasn't stopped raving about it since she bought it. Reliability and long range driver satisfaction...I'm not so sure about that, but we'll see. :)

She actually got rid of a stock '97 ITR to buy the SRT, if that tells you anything.

I think the EP3 can be a good buy, and the closer you get to 16,000 the better a buy it'll be.

It's a good buy at 16,000 but a questionable purchase at full sticker when other cars are available that are more car for the money at that price.

The EP3 is a neat little car if you don't pay a lot for it.

[VBSI]

TriniTurismo...I am considering getting an SRT-4, but it is posts like yours that remind me why I own a Honda. If I get one of those, I won't be "raping" any Si's that I may see, that's for sure.

Anyway, back to topic...


I went blue if my forum name tells you anything...I think that black is the best color for this car though, since it matches the reb and black color scheme inside of the car. Blue + Red = Not Right.

[EP3.. 2.. 1 GO]

I would say either silver or white will look awesome !!!

[Zigen5]

I was going to go with either silver or white.. But after looking at the blue, I went with blue. Cuz it stood out on the roads... I like to be noticed.. :D

[minileedxr]

I agree with most of the people regarding the black ones since i have a black ep. They are hella hard to keep clean, but when they are, they look hella nice. Unless you have a garage to park it in or time to wash it everyday, don't get a black one. Also, i found that those dusters work really well. I wash my car at least once a month, cover it when i don't drive it, and dust it at least once a week. The dusters can be found at Target or WalMart for a little over ten bucks; works great. Good luck

i currently have a black car, and it does look great when it's clean. thats why it's so hard for me to decide on my color! i really like black, but i've had a black car, and i don't know if i want to stay with the black or move on to another color.
i have one of those dusters, they work well. i don't get to keep my car in the garage, but if i got the Si, i might be able to. i wash my car about every 3 days. i'm a crazy person. i polish and wax it about every 2 to 3 months. always blingin'!

[kidXStreme]

silver is the best color!!!!!!!!!!! white,blue,black are the dirty colors. Silver does a good job hiding dirt and dings like someone already stated.
