Most popular color combo.

The colors I see the most are.

Silver
Gray
White

The colors I see least are

Red
Green
Blue
Tan
Black

Anyone know what the real numbers are?

I wish they did Blue on Ebony or White on Ebony.

There was a poll some time ago. NBP was at the top of the heap at that time

Was that a poll for the Acurazine board, or what people see. I definitely don't see a lot of black one's out there. I'm in Houston though.

Black looks best, no doubt. But dirty, swirls & hot.

Black would be my last choice. Looks great when clean/detailed. Looks like shit otherwise.

I hear you man.

I've got a black car now. You cringe when you view the rock chips on the hood.

But I've gotta tell you. I don't like seeing "my car" all over the place, I want it to be unique. Maybe I'll get the gun metal A-Spec wheels.

This morning I saw two other AM's on my 15 minute drive to Glendale. I pull into my parking spot and what do I see? A brand spanking new AM a few spaces away. It belongs to a coworker in my department whose been drooling over my car for some time now. Maybe I'll get that free navi upgrade after all.

Regarding the poll, AM has always been the most common.

Thanks. Yes, I see SSM and AM the most. I really like the blue, but I wish it came w/ Ebony.

I see anthracite the most, silver and black tie for second, and then white. Every now and then, I'll see a red one and I've seen a gold one twice. I have never seen blue or green except on the dealer's lot.

Some of us have gotten a free navi upgrade from Acura. Click Here

If I could copy my coworkers DVD, then in effect I would have a free upgrade. Others have been down this path and so far I don't believe anyone has been successful in copying it. Realistically, this just leaves me one alternative... swap the DVD when my coworker isn't looking. j/k

My friend has an 04 and he copied my 05 dvd. I don't know what program he ran but he had to use the new dvd-r (8.5gb) with more memory space. He says the old ones (4gb) didn't have enough space for the data. Try it with DVD shrink for the 4gb.

Your body/paint shop should easily be able to look up the code. Just give them the year, make, and model etc.. Now, if someone provides the paint-code from the vehicle/color you want, that would obviously decrease any questions...

Anthracite is the number one on this site. Black is second and Silver is 3rd.
