Do you ever wish that...

Have you guys ever wished that the Eternal Blue Pearl came with a black interior intead of the ivory? I always wanted to the blue/black color scheme with gunmetal wheels...CF hood to help accent it and (if there was one) a CF wing (not like the GT wings, but more like the adjustable mugen type wings). As far as exterior goes (IMO) that'd look great...but having navy sparco torino seats with the ivory doesn't look too great...I guess i could go black exterior and black interior...but i don't like the looks of gunmetal and black, or the way CF looks on black... What do you guys think?

When I was looking to get my 03 I originally wanted the Eternal Blue Pearl, but damn that ivory interior is butt ugly. So, I had to go with Red, as getting another black one would have been a little wierd.

As for the gunmetal and black, I think it would look a little too dark.

Yup, I hated that my EBP came with a beige interior. But I got used to it. I asked the dealer if there was any EBP's with black/dark gray interior, but he said no. Oh well, something different I guess (at least that's what I keep telling myself).

I believe the 01-02 EBP's came with the dark gray/black interior and the 03 EBP's only come with beige interior?

I dono, i doubt it...I remember looking at XTREME2K2Civic's car a few times...(which made me want the EBP)...but then i saw pics of his interior and it was the ivory. But if there ever was a black interior on this color on a 7th Gen you can sure as hell can bet that i'd try to get it

I wonder if you can specifically ask [the dealership] for an EBP with a black interior. . . for the 03's.

I dono, maybe, i've heard of some people (females mostly with rich *** parents) special ordering their cars in pink or some odd color like that, so i guess if you had the cash...i'm assuming you can. Dang, I like the VicXL's car (not tha graphics, just not my style) but overall with tha black int...i guess it's time for me to hit tha used car lots if those were the 01-02 models. BTW, i am planning on doing a swap (most likely shortly after getting a civic)...do you suggest getting the EX...or just tha most basic with DX (tho i heard they didn't come with tachs...haha, but knowing me and tha performance wise i want to go, i'd probably get an aftermarket tach anyways).

If they had the black int with the EBP, I wouldve gotten that color. I was stuck between EBP and Titanium. I went Titanium kinda cuz interior and overall, but it would have had no shot if the EBP had black.

BoZ05, it just depends. DX would be good because it's the lightest of all the models. But it also depends if you want sunroof, ABS, color-matched side-view mirrors and door handles [all in the EX model]. . . etc.

And yes, the DX does not have an RPM gauge.

Whoa, custom painting it white? That sounds like a crap load of $$$. But i guess if i were serious bout having a blue with black int...i guess i could do tha same after all my engine mods are done.

Yeh...i do'nt care too much about tha gauges such as the tach etc etc...i'd be getting an aftermarket one. the only feature that do care about was ABS. Basically anything i can add with the aftermarket and that i don't really need it the moment get the car...i don't want cuz i'll be changing it anyways. Oh well
