Default Can't decide on RSX color

I'm gonna get an 05 RSX type S sometime this month or next month. I was pretty set on getting the satin silver metallic but the other day I saw the vivid blue pearl paint. Now I can't make up my mind. What do u guys think?

I own a Artic Blue Pearl Type-S and I love it. It's really easy to keep clean and you cant see imperfections in the clear coat as easily like black.

Good luck

Dude - get the orange. It's probably going to be discontinued after this year anyway.

Failing that, either Vivid Blue or Satin Silver is good - I got Arctic Blue, but silver was a close second for me.

Do you see yourself driving a bright blue car? If not, go with the more conservative silver. Silver also shows less dirt.

People have been saying this for years - yeah, it's got that not so fresh feelin' going on, but there really isn't any other bright color to replace it yet.

Car makers have been trying to get orange out there but its not taking off at all. Not everyone wants to blend in with a "safe" color car like silver.

Desert Silver Metalic is a great color, but it comes with the "dead mouse colored" interior.

If it weren't for that interior, i'd have seriously considered the DSM.

Black is god, but it's too hard to keep clean. The satin silver isn't my cup of tea. I'd say go with the magnesium silver or blaze orange. Orange is hot.

they make a gillion RS-X's

EVERY color is played out

what's not is not worrying about it. I am going with black even though it means alot of waxing. My second choice would be silver, then white then blue and finnaly whatever that gay peach color is. I know it's orange but sometimes at night you can't tell.
