Just got an EVO IX

And im starting to regret that I got the Graphite Grey. I spent about 30 minutes once I got to the dealership looking at all the different colored EVOs and I just couldnt decide which color I liked. Now Im thinking I should have gotten the red or white.

Anyone else feel the same way when they bought their EVO? Im thinking that a dark window tint and some matching volks would make the car look a lot better.

GG is a hot color to me

I like that and black (no way i'd get a dark car again) and silver

I'd probably get silver if I got one, not as plain as white but not as needy as black

bah, The GG is the hottest color, it's understated and clean. Just what the Evo needs, a bit less attention than it already has. You'll be REALLY happy you don't have a loud color when you roll past cops.

I got a GG IX MR and I LOVE the color... congrats on the purchase!

I personally like GG just not more then EB. If i had to choose a MR, and out of the color choices for the MR i would pick GG.

I wished they would have offered GG on the Evo 8 (non-MRs). I would have definitely got that color.

buyer's remorse....everyone gets that so don't sweat it. no matter what color you have, some window tint and a drop to get rid of the wheel gap will make the car look 10x better imo.

The reason I didnt consider silver is because thats the color my gsx was. It seemed like the 06 colors were too dark and glossy. I was really digging the 03 blue color, i think its called bayou blue. But yea I think with a drop, window tint, and the volks it will look much better. This break in period is killing me, I want to go fast! lol. The mechanic at mits said EVOS that are broken in correctly will have up to 10hp more later in their life than if they were driven really hard early in their life. lol my evo better end up being a rocket!

I love GG, mine is black and I love the color but its such a pain in my a$$ to keep clean...you wash it, drive 2 feet and there are dirt specks on it! GG looks awesome, and will keep you sane when it comes to cleaning- congrats on the purchase!
