I am new to Honda tech, but I have worked in a bodyshop for 5 years.. and I have painted several cars at home.. and in my opinion championship white is the best looking.. because its clean and bright. very elegant

My father in law had a 97 type R and the paint was beautiful. If I remember correctly it was a creamy white. Which one is true white? I keep going back and forth.

I would suggest that you stick with the original Taffeta white for your GSR. When the paint is fresh it looks great on that car. If you went with championship white it would just look like you are trying to clone a Type R :\ however, it is one of my favorites. If you like a brighter white then go with the grand prix white, that color really pops. I tend to gaze at just about every grand prix white S2K I've ever seen lol. I've owned cars with frost, tafetta and championship white and can honestly say with confidence you can't go wrong with any of those colors. It just comes down to your personal preference, either way best of luck with your choice. Be sure to post pics when it's done

I have a stock Taffeta white EK. Championship white is more yellow although it is NH0. I love Taffeta white. Frost white is nice too, but I've personally lived with Taffeta white and it's beautiful. It's a stock Honda color too. Keep Taffeta!! I know for sure it's whiter than Champion! NH578 ALL dizzay.
