dont let this thread start bro...u go through the tl colour gallery threads and decide for yourself. consider what you'll want to do to the car afterwards as well and what can be done on what colours...eg. i think gunmetal rims are not gonna go with the gold 3g etc

I was going for black but I couldn't find one pre-owned and in good condition at the time. The white didn't phase me as good looking at first but I signed the papers. They held the car at Acura to replace the seat heaters and let me use a redondo red model. When I went to pick up the freshly cleaned white TL, I fell in love.

WDP FTW!

Theyre both nice. Sometimes I wish I had gotten the WDP but most of the time i love my NBP. White is hard to color match sometimes from what ive read

I'd only get a WDP if it had ebony interior though

Do I really need to say more, this is my WDP










As you can see the white shows the lines of car much better

I think both look good but if you live in a hot weather place I suggest WDP.

It doesn't get better than WDP. Black is soo hard to maintain white just looks so goood on our cars. But like pnoi521 said, it has to have ebony interior. I will never get a tan interior in my life.

I have had ASM, NBP, AND WDP.

My vote goes 100% WDP #1 by far IMO.

If you live in the south, white. If you live in the north, black.

LOL....care to back up that statement with some proof? Last time I checked, there was no option to select a car's color on KBB or NADA.

I doubt it affects resale value but I bet its easier to sell WDP than that gold.
