When i got mine i was dead set on getting the graphite grey or white. Then i went back and saw it in black and it just looked bad a$$. So i got it in black. BUT NEVER AGAIN. Black is nice when its clean, but it get dirty easily and scratches show up alot more. Silver looks pimp if your gonna add some CF

I had a choice between black and the pearl white. I traded a black Eclipse GT......so I didn't want another black car, and probably will never have another one. I really like the pearl white and have received a lot of compliments on it.

BTW......welcome to Evom!

I went with silver because it's so easy to keep clean, and at the time, I didn't have a garage. Had graphite gray been out at the time, though, I would've gotten that. The 04s only had thunder gray, and it didn't look very good to me.

I like Graphite Gray, might have chosen that over Lab Black Pearl if it had been available when I bought mine.

I've got Graphite Gray... Pretty easy to keep clean. I tend to go to the wash about once a week somtimes once every 2 weeks depending on how much I have been driving and how many flyovers the local bird society has made...

The only real issue I see is that I've been told by several shops that if I were to ever have any body work done the paint would never be a perfect match... Maybe they're right or maybe they just don't know what they're doing... Oh well *crosses fingers*!

Anyhow no matter what color I wish you much luck and enjoyment with yours and may the Ralliart curse skip your vehicle!

hmm. I've never heard of that. I wonder why they wouldn't be able to color match it?

Depends on the financing, I could have gotten a WRX for the same price as my Ralliart in the end if only I had qualified for the financing, I needed a cosigner and did not have one. I could however get the Ralliart on my own.

So Ralliart it was =)

I have the Graphite Grey as well and when they installed my Evo VIII spoiler they had no problem color matching the paint. I think it would be more of a problem if I had not gotten it done by the dealership's body shop.

Yeah, I'm not saying it can't be matched I'm just saying what I was told... Then I moved on to another shop =)
