which color EVO is the best?

When it comes time for me to get my evo...

I wanted to know your opinions on the color that i should get,

1) Red -I LOVE RED EVO's but my friends keep telling me that "im gonna get pulled over by the cops so quick"

2) Black -i won't get pulled over by the cops, and black owns, but it gets hot in summer

3) Blue -my favorite color, but it seems kinda like skyblue in pics, and skyblue isn't what i want, i want a nice solid blue, but mayb pics are deceiving.

4) Silver -its cool, but i would prefer the other colors avaliable but if all the other colors are not good, then i'll go for silver

5) Yellow -lets leave yellow to lambourghini's (tha'ts my opinion on yellow)

*EDIT* (sry to those who felt offended cause i forgot white )

6) White -i can't explain it, but i don't like white much cause it gets dirty quickly and im just not the white car kind of guy :-/

Pics on blue are entirely decieving. The blue is VERY solid in person.

where's white?!?! you forgot to put down white. It all comes down to personal pref. For me, i didn't want to be all flashy about it.. so that excluded blue, yellow and red. So it was either grey, black, or white. I already had a black car and it gets hot as hell during the summer but looks MONEY. Grey was too bland for me.. and white is way sicky!! So it was either white or black for me. And i ended up choosing white. I think if you fix up white really well, it looks PRIME!! but FYI, white gets dirty really easily!!! Like super easy, about 3 days after i do a hand car wash and waxing job, my car is all dusty and yah.

Which colors don't have clear coat on the paint? I think it's red only.

Black looks seksi as hell with jdm evo7 lights and the lines of the evo really stand out in silver.

I think yellow has the best paintjob with the most clearcoat.

Oh yea don't get silver because everybody and their mommas has a silver evo's.

If i would have known this before hand i would have bought a yellow one just to stand out. Everytime there's an Evo meet in houston silver always dominates like 7 to 1. WTF!

Hey I have the same question too! Shoot. WooHooo in 4 month I'm planning to get my evo, but damn I just don't know which color I should take. I've been thinking of getting black, but after seeing hundreds of pics of it I started having 2nd thought about it. My second option is silver. When time comes I don't wanna be all frozen or clueless of which to get.

Black: after seeing too many pics of it, it's kinda annoying. Despite the hotness in summer like everyone been saying, this will be my first option.

white: it's just too plain and bright for me

blue: Sorry I also like the STi, but no this color doesn't seem to be perfect match for the evo.

silver: It's too uhhh, can't explain.

Red: Something about red, it's just not my taste.

Yellow: O, Oh woah dude is that a taxi I'm seeing

Black=evil/darkness
Evo=Evil/monster
Black + Evo= Evils
Black + Evo + Me= Yea I'm a bad-*** dude out there.

Call me crazy, but I've spend 2 year saving up almost every hard earning penny I got for the evolution. Unlike other spoiled kids who get their ride from their mommy and daddy $$$, I was and still is a hard working dork that will buy the car of my dream without a single penny from my parents. And **** I am F@#Kn' proud of myself. This will be my first car and who said that dream don't come true. It's won't if you don't work hard for it. That's my way of life. Heck money doesn't just drop in my hands. To those who still sucking the juice out of your parents, man you won't know the real taste of Pride. So wooohooo, i can't wait for the next 4 month. I will be awake from my long dream.

"A car is just a car, but a car is more than a car if you know how hard it takes to get it."

You guys that is here in this forum's ROcks. Keep on Evolving baby and thank you Mitsubishi for making the right choice.

Same here. Luckily I'm about a month away.

As for color: silver, yellow, or blue is what I'm looking at.

Wasn't there a poll about color???? You can read responses on that thread also.

I haven't seen too many other colors in person, but silver really accentuates the muscular lines of the EVO. It hides scratches and swirls easier than a darker color.
