Try championship white with a pink pearl, looks really nice to me. If my car was white that's what I would paint it. Champ white color code is NH-0

So my body man is coming over to our shop tomorrow to check it out and give me an estimate on how much everything is going to be.

Im really liking this Alpine White (thanks for the idea)

Here is the Championship white (I really like it but I think Alpine White might be the color)

Here is the Pearl White on the newer IS's (I like it but im just not a big fan of pearl colors anymore)

Ah, didn't know you didn't like pearl - here we are all suggesting it.

Go for the Alpine, the Champ looks more beige, where alpine white is, well, white!

Nothing is prettier than pearl paint in the sun or under light. When I repainted my car had it done in 202 black (the original color) with blue pearl mixed in the clear. Couldn't be happier how it turned out.

Don't get me wrong I I think pearl colors are nice, but I just do not think its going to look right with the tire and wheel combination I'm going with. I'll find out how much it's going to cost me later when my buddy shows up at the shop later I'll be sure to share how much with you all

My opinion, Frost White is the C L E A N E S T white. I wish I had pics of my friend's car from 9 yrs ago. It was a 98 mitsu gs-t w/ silvia headlight convo w/ s2k taillight conversions (when conversions were the thing lol) and his car was painted frost white. I was so in awe of how bright white and clean it was.

All white color cars are nice. I like the brighter white colors, but the championship white on the ITR is nice. I like the pearl white on the RCF, its not bad.

I'd be interested in knowing how much the paint job cost, if you don't mind sharing.
