OK- Let's see what is better:

06 WDP w/Ebony 5AT w/Navi

OR

05 NBP w/Ebony 5AT w/Navi

 

WDP would be my choice if they have resolved the paint color issues. The body and bumper colors are slightly mismatched.

 

I saw that problem before I bought my 05, and that's why I bought the NBP. Didn't really get to look at the 06 on the lot.

 

Id wait just for the TPMS, I like black more, but its way way way too hard to keep clean, especially in MI with the weather. If you get the white you have to clear the headlights(if you are worried about breaking them just order a pair on ebay for 100 bucks, clear those, and then if you dont break em swap em out with your existing headlights.

 

he doesnt have to do that! white looks great regardless, stay away from the black and other colors, white is the cleanest looking color, and the pearl is just awesome on it. with ebony interior, you will have a very rare color, since this is the first year teh color option is being offered... go white

 

From what I understand- WDP w/Ebony has been offered in Canada, but not here in the good ol' USA. I'll have to check the WDP at the lot and see how the paint matches. I wonder if the RJS body kit will address the paint situation ( EH Pure Adrenaline / Samkws/96CLChick?).

 

OK- Kinda new at this. What is TPMS?

 

tire pressure monitoring system

 

how does your white bumper hold up? if i own i want WDP/Ebony, but the mismatching bumpers have me worried. i will own this car for 6-8 years, so i dont want it to look real bad over time

 

I personally think SSM looks the cleanest, rather than WDP. In a few months, I don't think WDP/Ebony would be such a rare color combo.

I certainly don't think it's worth trading in your NBP for (most likely at a loss).


BTW, congratulations on your wedding (dragonlord)!

 

The only problem with ssm is that there is too much contrast with the rear plate section IMO, it looks almost mis matched. With anthracite dirt definatly shows up, along with little spots from the washer fluid thing which I cant imagine looks much better on the NBP.

 

I had a 1993 Saturn SL2 that was almost the same color as NBP, and I swore I would never own another dark car. The upkeep on these dark cars is HELL! But there was the bumper color matching issue on the WDP when I was car shopping. And to me none of the other cars looked as good as NBP. Now in the market for "new shoes" for next summer. Either the Black JAZ Hero or the G-Racing Siegen in Gloss Black.

 

You can get WDP w/Ebony here in the good ol' USA as well.

 

white/silver may look clean, but black looks HOT , and who wouldn't want a HOT lookin 'car?
