I think the blue looks sweeeeeet! Yeah, it may be relatively hard to keep clean, but so what! Just invest in some Meguire's and keep that thing shiny as hell[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] As far as the oem security system, it is ok.......meaning it is functional with regards to helping helping to deter theft of the whole car, but if you want a proximity sensor, tilt sensor, automatic window roll up, pager alert, a real 125db siren, etc., you had best go for an aftermarket system. Congrats on your upcoming purchase!!

white is the easiest to keep clean, thats what i have, but has beige interior. If ya get a chip or dent, you notice it right away. but if you're really set on blue or black, i'd get blue.

I wanted black because of the interior but I ended up with blue and I love the outside. The inside is tolerable. Black is a lil' harder to take care of on the outside than blue. It can be a hard choice... personally, it still is a hard choice, but I would have to go with black because of the interior. If blue had hard interior, I'd probably chose it over the black... see? It's hard. But then again, they're both tied if they have black interior cuz I love both colors on the outside, so if you like blue more, go with blue, and if you like black more, go with black.


Man, f'ck it, just cover your eyes and point.

i had been trying to make the same decision blue/white or black/black. at first i wanted blue, and black was my second choice, but then i decided i liked the black interior a lot more. also since i decided i wanted black projectors and CF tails, i thought they looked better on black. just remember that black gets dirty easily (but the dark blue probably isnt much better since its dark too).

Hey. Since you live in PA and the winters relatively suck, I would go for the Nighthawk Black Pearl with black interior. The winter muck will destroy a beige interior and especially the floors - i've seen it happen! Personally I don't like the beige interior anyways. Why can't they make eternal blue with a black interior![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

id go with the blue my friend. I have the blue and all ive gotten is rave reviews on it. Beige isnt the greatest interior but noone has said anything about it, the love the outside so much that when they see the interior they r alrdy in love [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Ive gotten more props for my so/so stock blue car then sup'ed up hondas cause it looks so damn nice. Ive gotten 1 negative opinion and that was from a dude who had a sup'ed up BLACK civic and more peeps paid attention to mine then his...go fig

When i was deciding on my LX i was first going with black cuz i wanted to hide the black mirrors and handles. But then i just couldnt say no to the blue... its so pretty I never had the interior to think of though cuz my EBP has dark grey interior

I was going to get green btu then i found out that there was a blue ex model... I went with the blue sedan. I didn't think about the interior at the time of purchase... but I am glad i got grey w/ it cause the beige would suck.

Hey bro, in my nonexpert opinion I would recommend going with the black on black combo. I own a silver coupe with a black interior and the dark interior looks the best in my eyes. But since you are getting a dark exterior colour, please, and I am being serious, if you are going to buy euro tails, buy the carbon fiber. The clear ones on black cars don't look right to me. Peace

The black has blue in it, so you can have the best of both worlds...
If you really want the blue one, you should be able to get on with the dark gray interior...
If they don't have it at the lot, order it. A car is a major investment, so make sure you get exactly what you want...

Silver with black interior. Easiest to keep looking new outside and in.
