Cant decide TYPE S WDP OR NBP??

well as the title says.. i cant decide..

i had a NPB 06 si and i loved that car. sold it.. got a jeep now i want to sell that cause of gas prices and get a nice family sedan that i can pimp

i also have a pearl white twin turbo g35 and i love that color too..

help me decide on the two colors and post me some pics of both please..


also i have these wheels i can put on as soon as i figure out which color i want

19x8.5 racing hart rh5 pro's i think they will suit the car perfect with a drop

the type s is a sweet car. will fill my needs perfect for daily driving family things and just cruising

Well you know the work needed for both colors to keep them looking nice .. if your not into the time for black .. get the white.

I think the wheels would look better on the white as on the black there is just too much .. black ..

With those wheels you should go with the Black. Be aware of the Type S problems with their rear suspension.

Good luck.

Most importantly, be sure to get the 6MT version. If they don't have it, check another dealer. If they still don't have it, special order it.

Get black...much easier to keep clean (IMO) but more importantly it looks really stealth at night with tints....also it'd definitely be a nice change when you already have a white G35

Not an easy choice, but ALWAYS go for substance over style. In the long run, that strategy always works to your advantage.

go to dealer and look at NBP and WDP then decide.

NBP is really hard to keep clean and show swirl marks. no color mismatch.
WDP is easier to keep clean but front and rear bumpers have color match problem.

those wheels will look nice on either color.

There is an extensive thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/car-talk-5/04-supercharged-tl-150981/
which deals with MANY owners' experiences with their TL-S's, all having clunking noises coming from the rear suspension of their cars.

The common factor in all of them is the fact that the cars are all TL-S models.

If you are going to an after market suspension set up, then hopefully you will avoid the issue.
Just though you should know about it.

Good luck.

I have a WDP, and I have to say...if you have the time and patience, get the NBP. NBP looks so much nicer when it is CLEAN...but it's damn near impossible to keep it that way...in my neck of the woods anyway.

I got a NBP because i knew my car was gonna be a garage queen. A NBP will get dirty if you park it outside a couple nights.

Agreed, I should have gotten a WDP...I can't keep up with how my NBP gets dusty so fast...

If you're a clean freak, who can wash your car everyweek, then get a NBP. Otherwise, if you don't have the time, WDP will look nice to stare at even after a few weeks of a car wash.

Get WDP. I have a NBP and it gets dirty fast. Plus after a while you get start to get swirls that show up in the sun or any light at night.

Hahaha...look at you WDP'ers ...still trying and trying...don't you know that once you go black you don't go back??? Hahahahaha...NBP it is, and NBP it shall stay losers! Hahahahaa!

Besides, you guys :silvercup are losing ground to ASM & SSM ...that is your competition...consult your local Wimpy Dull Paint chapter for details!

NBP is in a class by itself! Real recognize real!
