orange to... silver?

[CHICO2003]

so, since you had the 2k to spend on paint, what are you gonna do to ur car with it? something that has to do with fastness? Maybe a slightly different look with some exterior mods? Or are you going to do something stupid like save it?

I agree, spending a few thousand to turn an orange into a silver would be insane. Turning any of our colors into something that doest' exist on the other hand... well, if you have the money, why not? talk about making an already unique car even more so! I for one would much rather put the extra dough into performance related crap.

That being said, to answer your question, I'm definitely the saver type. However, so that it wouldn't be as much of a hit, I'm starting to think about maybe getting a bank loan for a few g'z (at or around the same interest rate of my car) and hookin it up... not really sure what I'd put the money into (other than the obvious upgrades -exhaust & fmic/smic-) I'm sure there's more than a few threads about what to buy with X... time to go hunt em down!

it has been my understanding that the in 03 black and orange were the only 2 colors produced, split up between 2000+ units or so, in the later production years the colors were around 500 units apeice, if we are talking purely MSP's, orange isn't a rare color, but as far as protege's go orange is probably the only color that is specific to JUST the speed protege, but i was refering to speeds, not proteges in general...

please correct me if i'm wrong :shrug:...

titanuim is the most common and ugliest out of the msps

colors and numbers

first of all my car has 24k and payoff is 13K, if we traded I would just call my bank and ask them to swap cars on the loan as they are the same make and model and worth same value it shouldn't be a problem.

2nd color and number:
there are 500 blue and 500 silver, easy enough

I've heard 2 different versions of the titanium/yellow:
1)they were split half and half 875 each for a total of 1750
but I've heard a split that says there are only 650 yellows and 1100 titanium greys which sound correct as I notice there are a lot of titaniums on the street and on the forums.

I found the same thing for the orange/black issue:
1)orange and black were evenly split between 1750
so thats 875 orange and 875 black
or
2)I've also heard 1000 black and 750 orange

So if anyone knows the real story here please fill us in!?

(PLEASE NOTE THESE NUMBERS ARE FOR US CARS ONLY, A FEW HUNDRED MADE THERE WAY TO CANADA ABOVE THE NUMBERS QUOTED HERE)

ALSO THE NUMBER OF MSP's in the US is correct at 1750 03's and 2750 03.5s: that at least is a cold hard fact.

if you lived in my area I'd definitely consider this... with the cost of transport, it probably wouldnt' be worth it. let me think about it some more though... a dewinged silver 03.5 would look freakin sick! mini last gen s4 anyone?
