Car Color regret

Hey guys do anyone regret the color of their car?
When i brought my WW in 2011 i was the only one with this color so i stood out more in a group but now I counted 9 WW evo in my location does anybody feel the same way.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this topic.

WW IS the best color option on the X (my opinion and many others). I was in the market for a white evo at first, but then I learned, as you know are now experiencing everyone has a WW.

Then again you drive an EVO, so its not like they are common. Besides the guy at work I havnt seen an X driving down the road in about 2 months.

I would not regret it but instead enjoy it as you have the best color on the X.

I always told myself that if I was going to be repainted, I would do WW or GG. Color I have now is AS. But after seeing that so many people have WW and GG, I would leave it AS.

With that being said, I do not regret it.

You bought a white Evo. Can't really expect it to be a unicorn.

so.. everyone has the color? so what?

I honestly bought the car I wanted in the color I wanted.. never regretted one bit , I know that WW is the most popular and it is for a reason , because its the most appealing color for this car.

If you want to look different from others then you got a white canvas to work with. Everyone has the ability to change their car to their liking and pretty much personalize it.

ie rims ,
plasti dipping parts
carbon fiber.
Some people even wrap their cars.
Plasti dipping the whole car.
and in some cases they get them painted.

If your regretting your color choice because to many people have it, then you are not choosing your car on what you like but what others don't have.
And to be honest you will never be happy because at one point or another someone will have your color. Its production car for a reason.

Same, they really nailed the blue. Fact is the whole white car thing is a huge trend. I don't think the evo looks good in white at all, it loses a lot of it's lines. I think once the white trend passes and people start noticing 90% of cars on the road are white you might regret not springing for a more interesting, limited, and rare color. My 2 cents. Then again I also like rotor glow so you probably shouldn't listen to me

I think white is really the only color that looks good. As far as the lines. Yea, sometimes. Depends on the light. That can be said for most of them. But the white/black combo is amazing looking. As far as white being popular. True, but like it was said before, I see maybe 1 Evo a week if not even longer so unless I am at a car meet/show and everybody around me has white, it's not a big deal. I had thought about if I repainted someday doing a white pearl, I think the pearl would bring out the lines. Kind of like that white pearl in the lexus.

But really, if you take it from how the general population sees it, your white Evo is pretty rare because people not driving Evo's don't see many to begin with. Not like where I live and the BMW is all over the place. Stop at a light and there are 3 silver BMW's next to me. I can count probably 15 to 20 BMW's everyday on my 15 mile drive to work. Throw in the Mercedes as well and it's the same thing.

Your white Evo is RARE!

My buddy already had the WW evo before I bought mine so my option for a WW for the shear fact that "come on we can't have the same car"

BUT I also came from having a WRB WRX, so I loved that and when I blew it up I wasn't ready to get rid of that blue. so I basically was only looking for OB.

I've actually seen only a couple evo's in my area and my buddy and I are the only WW and OB that we've seen.

WW is extremely common but not in my area. I see more PB than anything else.

I love my AS X and if I could do it again I'd probably go with PB or AS again

I was the same way. Got a 2013 WW GSR. I was the best factory color. Then after I got it I see them every where. Im going to get my car wrapped in the 3M vinyl in matte white and black to give it a different look. Just saving up to get the wrap and wheels at the same time.
