My car was midnight blue when I purchased it but I loved the Spicy Orange on the Mazda Speed and changed the color.

Looks very slick. Can I ask you how much it ran you to get it painted?
 
damn, if he got everything but the engine bay painted...(i.e. took out all interior door panels, door sills, and everything)musta cost at least a good $3K.

Yeah it cost $3k all the emblems were shaved and everything is painted except the engine bay which is still blue.
 
I dunno, I think white looks good.

I love black and I have had Three black corvettes, and they lookbest when they are detailed but I would NEVER get another black car,k to hard to keep clean
Silver is the best to keep clean
 
LASER BLUE!

I would not have bought one that wasn't equipped exactly the way I wanted it. It had to be laser blue. The best color, however, is not in this list. Ford used a great blue on its 90s Tauruses, Honda has a great blue CRV, and the blue Mazda6 is stunning. I wish laser blue was a little darker, but it's the best color available on the P5.

Faults with the others:

Yellow - good try, but it is too orangy. They should have used a more pure yellow, like they have on the RX-8.

Midnight blue - too gray, looks like a dirty black car

Black - as discussed, great if clean, but terrible dirty

Silver - worst car color ever. I would never, ever buy silver. Looks like they slapped clearcoat on the bare metal and forgot about the paint.

Red - okay, but fades too much on older cars

White - decent, looks great on some cars (especially classy or sporty cars), kinda cheapens (ironically) the P5.

There you have it, one man's opinions.

good thing its only one man's opnion(lol) IMO the P5 yellow is perfect. Its nice and deep in color instead of looking faded and washed out like the RX8 unfortunately does. Pretty much like the pastel easter egg color on the mustang and focus I posted earlier.

I have to admit though, that the P5 yellow is not my fave.

W/O a doubt, the best yellow evAr is the IS300

Pro5 yellow is just perfect. Mazda6 yellow is also good.

Bad yellows:
Lancer
beetle
focus
matrix
mustang
Sentra - this one is too orangy

Good yellows:
P5
s2000
is300 - although it's borderline


It depends on the car too, I like the Rx-8 yellow
 
Hey JVs P5, nice wheels, but what size are they? And what tires you running? I don't know if its the angle of the photo but you got one helluva wheel gap. You need to drop that car a good 2 inches by the looks of it. The gap looks bigger than stock.
 
With white and black, you have to always keep it clean because the dust and dirt show easily. But with silver, it doesn't show that much.....That's why I think silver is the best color!!!!!!!!!!

EBP was around before "laser" blue.
haha, I think EBP was the FIRST blue ever used on production cars. I heard they used to use it back in the 30s (rofl)
 
They are the stock Dunlop. And I know a lower is in order.

Glad to see Silver is still winning the poll. I think the Yellow's are voting twice.

(lol2)

and yellow takes the lead again...you see, there definitely arent more yellow owners than the rest...I think the silvers have it...its jut those that dont have P5s, and their own car does not apply to this thread, realize that yellow is the best color(evil)
 
i'll tell ya why yellow wins...

cause all ricers know that yellow is the fastest color.. and the P5 can use all the extra speed it can get :D
 
Yellow is the sweetest color if you stay pretty stock IMHO. But if going for a CF hood, red takes the cake for me.
