I had a choice between grey or white evo x FE. I chose white and its a pain to keep clean. Drive it down the road and back and you have to clean it before it goes in the garage. I miss my 2012 blue evo x gsr was easier to clean.

Black is even worse. You don't even have to drive the PB after washing it for it to look dirty hahaha

heaven forbid you swirl it with a cloth or accidentally rub against it after a buff. leaves this huge skid mark that's obvious in sunlight. I love black, nothing beats it when it's at it's cleanest, but keeping it that way is the biggest pita

White does get dusty, then you open the trunk and leave finger marks. My A-pillar has horizontal dirt marks from driving in the rain. I don't remember my red 2003 showing much dust at all. I even bought a portable pressure washer now lol

Agreed. Although my PB with the high mileage, all original is a solid 20 footer. Anything less, you see issues with every single panel. There's not a panel on the car that isn't ****ed one way or another. I think my next project will be body work once the build is done and it's tuned. Block sand the entire thing so it's all straight as an arrow again. I'll mix the PB, maybe tweak the formula a bit to my liking, and give it 3 solid layers of high gloss PPG clear, unlike that thin crap the factory uses. Definitely looking forward to having all the issues the PO had, reversed. Scratches on the roof, entire front end stone chipped, trunk spray painted, doors dinged, shot with pellet gun, keyed, swirls galore... Luckily the body is clean of rust, just used. Which does add character I must say lol

White is overall my favorite car color. However I purchased my evo used so I was at the mercy of what was local. For this car purchase I didn't want to travel out of state to find one. I got lucky and less than an hour from me I found a 2014 that had the features I wanted, so I went with it.

The color on mine I keep forgetting lol, its some really dark purple/blue pearl. Although considering white evo's seem to be a majority it's funny I didn't get one since I really do love white haha.

Purple is an interesting color. I also think the red Evos are pretty nice to.

I second the pics for purple evo
