Yeah Mitsu i know what you and evo slow are saying but look at NotiGuys 2nd picture. The black carbon fiber hood just puts the rest of the car to shame. I can get my car to shine like most of the whites post on this thread so far but it lacks that luster that makes people swoon when they walk up on a car like the EVO.

aux.

dont know bout you, but i can definitely tell you that you cant tell from a pic. If i had a DSLR and snapped those pics, it would be different. My friends always say that my white is darn glimmering.... (thanks to a clear coat though) lol... and my bonnet spoils the whole thing... I get clear reflections on my paint just like i get on my bonnet... am away now and will try to snap a couple of pics when i return of it...

ask any professional photographer
white is tough to shoot properly
it washes out fairly easily

You can spend all day waxing a white evo, but it won't really look that much different.
