Help me pick a color scheme!!

I will be purchasing an '05-'06 Acura TL soon and I currently planning out what I want to do to it. I've been browsing around here, checking out all the sexy cars you guys have trying to get ideas.

Right now these are my two options:

Get a white Acura: blackout headlights, rear/side lights, black rims chrome lip, tint on windows, etc you see where I'm going.

Get a black Acura: opposite of above, white headlights, rear/side lights, non black rims with chrome lip, etc.

I'm just interested in some opinions as to why I should chose one or the other, I really like both possibilities.

Quick notes:
I'm from northern illinois
illinois state law doesn't allow any tint on front 2 windows so if I do tint it max would be 40%
never had any family experience with a white car, do they dirty up easy or something?

THANKS!

WDP looks stunning when clean....and it shrugs the dirt off well, once its polished.....
I think the white would look more aggressive with the black mods, than the black with the white mods...

You can get either. But of your two choices, WDP would look better.

even though i own a NBP but sometimes i still think about what if i got an WDP and did black mods.. cuz as you can tell from all the WDP on the site.. they look clean... lol but it still comes down to your own choice... you are the one who is going to be driving it

NBP looks like a beast at night. WDP looks like a beast in the morning. Every other colors don't come close!

WDP was what I would have if I didnt get AM so I gotta go with WDP. When the car is clean WDP is just so damn clean, I love that color.

The more aggressive look IMO is black/black (murder look). But between your choices I'd go with WDP.

i agree with some. i am not really a fan of the NBP with white accents, i like the black on black look too. between the black on black and the WDP w/ white, i would choose the all black. but between what you have listed, i would choose the WDP.

White accents on almost any car are going to look odd.

The other way? Fairly normal.

Black with white never stood a chance. Time for a new poll, WDP with Black versus Black with Black. hehe

WDP with tints, black roof, and some nice 19" black wheels with a polished lip?! I get butterflies thinking about it...
