Oh, I love Blue By You.

I'm not a big fan of royal blue (WRX style), but the slate blue color looks great to me. I know someone with a yellow Lancer and someone with a red, but I'd go with blue. Yellow and red look great, but they're too racing-esque for me.

I saw the white in Texas, and it looked good to me. Think '95 M3 LTW...

And, to spite popular belief, white actually hides dirt better than any other color (but that was not on your list). Many trucks are white (Ryder is now) as it always looks clean, even when not clean.

I personally try to go for the unique color- the color that tells anyone 'in the know' that that is an EVO even before any other tell-tale sign is obvious.

When I ordered my '98 BMW, I tried to get the M3 yellow. I couldn't get it, as it was only available to the M3, even though my car was (is) an 'M' car.

I personally would avoid the blue. Looks like the 'dreaded' WRX STi (and I would certainly get that car that color...). Dark colors show damage better, and are more lilkely to be hit by other motorists (typically spelled i-d-i-o-t-s).

Legend has it that red attracts police ('arrest-me red'). I have almost no tickets (maybe one in five years- I had to think a bit on that), and I'm certainly not the slowest car on the road...

The interior is blue, and I would avoid the yellow exterior with blue interior.

Does this help you??

You sure about that?


Haha, that was after 5 months without a single wash... Generally speaking, white does hide the dirt well.

I'd go for red though, just because it looks damn sexy on the Evo.

Actually, my yellow Evo hides dirt remarkably well, though every car I've had before was black so I started out in the worst-case scenario. From about 10 or 15 feet away, even after a week of road grime, my car looks pretty clean. Once I start washing it, however, the contrast between the newly cleaned surface and the rest is DRASTIC! So having yellow, that's my vote, but the red looks pretty nice too.

Honestly, I wouldn't be asking anyone else but myself what color to get. It's all subjective and opinions are always different. One of those colors MUST stand out to you more than the others in some way. Just go with that; who cares what Jimbob says.

I think Silver and White can last long....

However, I personally like Blue, Red and Black...

Sorry, no Yellow for me...
