NBP and WDP are both amazing colors....
Can't go wrong with either...
Except white is easier to maintain since you cannot see scratches as easy as black.
But if i had to choose who's cars look better in those pictures...I gotta go with the NBPs.....the WDPs are sick too...but the NBPs look nicer in those pics.

This a narrow topic thread about WDB and NPB. Of course NBP is the winner.

O.G.
Damn Ray, about time you joined the dark side. I knew you always wanted a black car ever since you saw mine.
BTW, you should donate that green thing you called your car or give it to the wifey.
Oh and nice 3G!

WDP wins, black is hot as well but a pain in the ass to keep that mirror look, then you can see every ding and dent, marks ect ect. BTW to the "thats why chicks drive WDP" nope thats why chicks drive jettas and GTI's ever color except white. When a girl see's a nice WDP TL she would jump on the door and start rubbing all over it LOL!
I think we have more WDP cars in then any other color. I could be wrong.

Isn't too hard to keep up here in Vegas. All I did in this pic was dust it with my california duster. I think it was washed one or two weeks before i took this pic.
(I dont know why that cleaner is in the pic, I never even used it. haha)

I use that stuff too Brett - I like the way your can dial up your spray L - M - H..........Overspray isn't an issue - I have this plastic shield I found online which you hold over your rim while you spray.
Hot Shine lasts quite a while too - even through the rain

An inexpensive, time saving trick that the pros use!
Like glossy, dressed tires, but hate messy overspray on your wheels? Hats off to the guy that came up with The Wheel Shield for making tire dressing application less messy. If you use a spray dressing, this is a must! Nothing more than a circular plastic disc, with precise tire diameters clearly marked, it’s inexpensive but infinitely useful. Cut along the line to tailor it to 17, 16, 15, 14, or 13” wheels. A handle in the center makes it easy to hold against your wheel as you apply tire dressing. Remove the wheel shield to reveal beautifully dressed tires and spotless wheels.

I was using Eagle One gel for the past six months or so because I can't seem to find the Meguiar's gel anywhere anymore. I sprayed this new stuff on and it appears to apply itself very well and leaves a nice, shiny tire. Not too much overspray either.
You can try washing, claying, waxing, cleaning your wheels, scrubbing and dressing your tires...but in the end...you still get...
SSM, ASM, KBP, or worse - WDP...
Just give it up...no matter how much you clean it, it'll never be...

^ ouch, man!
That's a sweet picture, though. It looks like a TL is parked in front of a drive-in movie screen. Madness! Too bad both of those TLs are NBP. It kind of ruins what would have been a great picture.

I specifically did that for you Brett because you said once that my car looks like it should be in a movie! So I tried to do a pic that looks like an onscreen action sequence! Looks pretty cool I think! Came out better than I thought it would! I used my 32in LCD TV in my bedroom for that shot! Model ala Supercomputers of course!

Besides, what with all of these pictures I am putting up, now everyone can look at it while they fall asleep!
I see you at the bottom of the screen watching Brett! Trying to think of a counter huh? Just pay homage and be done with it! LOL!

But I am on now, and now I have come up with something. Stay tuned while I head out of here for a workout.
I wonder what the percentage of TLs are NBP and WDP. I'd be willing to bet that the two silver colors outnumber us both. Food for thought for the next couple hours.

The NBP was a consideration but knowing the color was high maintenance I opted for ASM. Still happy :-)

Order! Order in the court I say! I know it looks good, but calm down or I will clear this courtroom! Counselor Ray, you may proceed with the witness...
(Thank you Your Honor!)
No way am I going to believe that Steven! You know what I think? I think you were coerced into that decision! C'mon Steven, we're a family here! Level with us! Do you want to end up like Brett? Rodney? Slammed? They all really believe their car color is better! But you Steven...you haven't had your car long. There is still hope for you! The first step is admitting your true feelings. Get it out Steven, it's the only way we can help. At least you KNOW NBP RULES...and knowing is half the battle...
Come to the Dark side Steven...it is your destiny!!!!

LOL !!!!!!!!!! Yup - I passed up the NBP....... I know I know it does look hot.
Who knows maybe my new 4th gen TL will be NBP.
Until then let the power of ASM be with you ........
