Sounds like you're good either way.

Black is difficult to keep clean.

White will have mismatched paint on the bumpers.

cool?
this is how its going to go....
we suggest.
you pick something completely diff.

why dont you do something for your own self, and pick the color that YOU want.
dont be a robot/sheep and pick a color because the internet told you too.

With that being said, go for silver.

i just recently got NBP...i love it. love the black look anyway, black car, black tint, black wheels, black black black.

WDP does look really good tho as well...

if you choose the black, be prepared to wash it often, and have a decent supply of spray on quick wax n dry to use in between washes. i just did the wax n dry spray last night, looked good this morning, as of right now i'm getting off of work and it looks decent still...but i'm already itching spray it again! black is hard to keep clean...sigh...

Like the people before me said, NHB is hard to keep clean. I have one myself and all of the small things show up on the paint. Swirl marks and everything.

White gets dirty easily too. My friend's TL is dirty all the time (but I guess it's not a problem if you wash your car often).

Why not get something in between Anthracite Metallic

either one will get dirty fast although NBP does faster kinda depends on your style. i like NBP, particularly at night - if you wash it good it basically disappears but WDP looks really sharp and will stand out, particularly with the right body mods (think black roof / black rims, etc.).

i have had both.... as black is horrible to keep clean and shows so many swirls... white has mismatched bumpers and when dirty looks all faded. White is a very sexy car if you paint the roof black....


All in all i like my NBP better cause i can dress it alot more with black/grey accent.
Black wheels on WDP is too often and chrome is just not for me

WDP + Dark Tints all around!

It is nasty... but not fun if you drive through the everglades during love bug season...

Looked like it was trying to morph into nbp!

I would go WDP, but you would have to deal with the mismatched interior... plus looking for a WDP on black interior + Navi too forever! so i settled for NBP on black interior + Navi... no regrets except you have to keep up with detailing and washing your car or else everything shows, especially swirls

ssm. i have an 05 ssm and love the way the shadows fall on it at night, reminds me nightly why i love my car so much.

parents have an 07 nbp type-s. its a beautiful car but too much black for my taste (black int, black ext, gunmetal rims). shows a lot of dust even just sitting in the garage too.

if you have to pick between nbp or wdp, id go for nbp.

F it, get AM... it's like a greyish color, so you can say it's a mixture of black and white, it's get easily dirty like black, and matching the color is as hard as white.

WDP! Might be a little bias though. In all seriousness I dont think you can go wrong with either color. Just find one with black interior.


Quick Reply: i cant decide between nbp or wdp
