Well I'm thinking of getting an EP3 04-05 model, but I'm torn between what color I should get? White? Black? or VBP? hmmmm any suggestions?

black is hard to clean but looks awesome when it's flawless

white is pretty cool, silver is cool

blue is cool

avoid the yellow ones unless you like that color

good luck!

I like white. You wash it 2 times a month and it always looking clean.

okay well
i HATE SSM
sorry, its jus not a good color
I have an NHBP(Black) and I personally love it, when its freshly washed it shines like a damn mirror, but it is kinda a pain to clean, water spots show up easy
VBP is a beautiful color and looks great with CTR bumpers or HFP.
white looks good with HFP also or mugen parts.
but honestly

Mine's SSM and it's ok. But I had a NHBP EM2 before that and I miss how damn good it looked after a fresh waxing. I'm a big fan of the TW on these cars. Normally I hate white cars, but it just works on Honda hatches for some reason.

SSM! Youre invisible on the road!

White or SSM both look amazing with full Type R kits on them. So those are my voted.

go white or yellow. white is just clean and almost no one has yellow, so you will be even more unique

My vote would be either Taffeta White or Vivid Blue Pearl. Because TW, lets face facts. Looks mad JDM y0! :P Nah but it really does. And VBP stands out and blue is always a cool color since it comes in various blue hues. Plus its kinda like the EP version of "Si Blue"

I like black, but black is just that. Black. Doesn't really stand out that much. But cool since its like dark/mysterious.

SSM I hate. Sorry to you guys that love it, it just doesn't catch my attention really. And a lot of the SSMs I've seen look so....blah

NHBP is probably the worst color ever. Mine was NHBP and it was impossible to keep it clean to my standards.

I'd probably get silver because it's impervious to dirt, or a VBP if I felt like being flashy.

I have a black one. I personally love it. If I had another chance to pick I would have gone white. I was kind of a carbon fiber whore and I think it contrasts better with the white ones.

VBP. It's the only one with pigment. Or Euro Yellow.

Euro Yellow is my absolute first choice. We call it "baby shit" around here. Cool color.

Yeah, I was torn between that color (which I really like) and an 04/05. I ended up opting for the latter.

any color, done right, looks good. I have a TW and I love it, when I was shopping it was between that SSM or NHBP. VBP looks good too, but IMO you really need to want the blue, I can see myself getting sick of that color real quick. The yellow looks like sh*t, but if you wanna be unique that's the way to go. Bottom line, it's up to you, check out the specific color ep section, that should help you out.

i would say VBP, but I prefer my milano red, but that is for the 02-03.

So, any color would be ok, and then paint it it red lol :mbiggrin:

I have NHBP and it dose look killer after i wash and wax it but, everything shows up. Any kind of dent, dirt, scratches, ect. will stand out. If i could do it over i would go white.

Thats why I dont order my EP in NHBP, so I had the choose between
VBP, Milano red, SSM and cosmic grey pearl....while I want some nice colour, but it should be not so vulnerable against dents,sratches and dirt...

so my choice was CGP....

SSM were not my fav. because every 2nd car , which is on the road is silver...

I would definately go with a red (candy apple red) cause ep3's dont come in red, this would make it less common, and red is a hot color, u cant go wrong with it

If there was a white one around I would have bought it, but black was available and it just looks so sick when it is clean.
