Awesome color. I like it much more than BBY. Definitely looks like much more expensive and quality paint. Sharp looking color on the Evo too.

As soon as I heard the name "Electric Blue" months ago when the 05 info was first being released it was obvious to me it was going to be the same as the Subie WRB....

I was correct

But I do like it better than BBY....

I'm not really a fan because it looks so much like the Subaru blue.

When we have my friends blue WRX, another with his Sapphire Blue metallic Supra, and my BBY evo, they are always jealous of the BBY on the evo and wish that they had the color on their cars.

That does it for me

BTW, all of you assbags who complained about the picture quality, go take a better pic yourself. I'd really look forward to helping the board in the future if i drove 45 minutes to go take pictures for you guys and you all complained about the quality of the pictures. Really cool

Thanks EJ

I think it looks darker then the Subaru or Honda blues but it is hard to say. I think it looks more like the blue on the Ford Mustang, which is a color I have always loved. Still like my BBY Evo, but this would have been my choice if it had been available.

93civEJ1, thanks for shooting those pics to finally solve the mystery.

Thanks for the great pic's!

I like the new electric blue color...if it was available when I got my 03' I would have chose it. I liked my WRX blue color more than my BBY color. The darker/deaper the blue the better for me.

Dude, you rule for getting the pics. Completely made my morning. I called around to 4 dealerships (1 closed down apparently) but noone had any yet. That is exactly the color I wanted. You totally ruined my plans to get a WW RS...

Nice color of 05 blue. I think I still like 03-04 blue better though, but I like both. Probally wouldn't turn around for the difference....

Electric blue is the same color being used on the PT cruiser.

I like BBY better

Well guys, now I am thinking on the options for myself on seeing what I can make happen with my BBY for this color.

i would be in the hole like no other with my 31k miles on my 03 BBY, and all the money ive spent on it, oh well...Ill just congratulate whoever takes ownership of that one.

Nice

Very cool color. I went on the site and the computer generated color doesn't do it justice. I like how the VG is a factory option on the VIII for only $230.

that is the color I wanted 2 years ago when I bought my evo. That is freaking sweet. I had a electric blue 01 prelude sh, and that was the best color I have ever seen. That color looks to be very similar to the honda electric blue. very saucy
