OK everyone with all the changes in the plans/works for my car I have come to a dilema. It is gonna cost me like 3.5-4k for paint if i go with spicy msp orange or about 2300 or so if i re do her in white. so i want you to picture my car looking like this with the same set up . MSP FRONT , Buddy club 2 sides and rear , MSP trunk and wing and my carbon fiber hood painted down the sides to match the body color .
Spicy Msp Orange

White :

So what do i do . I want what will look clean and be unique
So either a nice clean crisp White or Spicy MSP orange

Not snappin on the dude with the MSP Orange, but you can clearly see that the rear bumper isnt a perfect match. Its harder to get an exact match for a color like that. Plus if you wanna get a clean look what can you rock that's gonna be better than white?!
But this is comin' from a guy whose got a buddy club2 body kit a Sand (not easy to match either) 2001 ES. But if i was gonna paint my car, I'd paint it white.

From that pic it looks to match pretty well.
I say white. I want my MSP to be white.

Personally I love spicy (and voted for it) but white looks clean and it will leave you extra cash for other goodies.
Glad I could help! (uhm)

Personally, I like the white. It looks clean (ironically, considering it will get the dirtiest). That and there aren't any running around.

Heck..what are you talking about...The bumpers , Front and rear, don't even match from the factory.
Not many cars these days do due to the way the paint lays differently on metal and Plastic.
Back on topic...
I have had a spicy..and although it is a cool color....I love white.
You cannot beat white when its clean...It just looks hot...and its kind of a rare color for proteges as a whole...so with a kit...its even more rare if you ask me.
I vote white.

Whoot! white it is then .
Last night i bought my Msp Grille on ebay brand new for 30.00 + shipping

Woo hoo im getting close. lol

I think it was 34K.
being as orange is my favorite color, im gonna vote for that. it also looks flippin sexy on that first pic you posted as hot as the white one is.
orange is realy unique, but i kinda appreciate the clearner, look of the white, which in his car, will still turn heads =).

spcy orange. If it was my choice. Then again if it was really my choice I would pick a non-mazda color (which i did) or even go custom color.

actually white is actually going to appear cleaner. The cars that appear the dirtiest is black or any dark color. White is cool but all cars come in white plus its the cheapest and probably easiest color to do.

Crystal Pearl White is a very clean, fresh white. I was looking at a new Nissan Sentra beside an Acura TSX, that were both white, and the new Sentra white is a very pure white, similar to CPW. The BMW Alpine White is like that too.

Great looking Ride, good decission on the color choice. Also, way to bring it together and carry the color into the interior, even the gauge rings. I think a carbon fiber grill would look good to match the carbon fiber hood.
