CW.
of course i'm not biased or anything

on a serious note, keeping a black car swirl free and clean is just too much of a pain. It does "hide" all of the fake vents and stuff so it doesn't look bad at all. I chose CW cause of the heritage color mainly.

I agree on this and that’s why I chose CW over it for my first one. Black has grown on me though ever since I saw it in person.

Saw this one at a cars and coffee event:

PowerFold mirrors... this one is mine.

Find a dry, clear day and we can meet up for you to look it over. Heck if you can line up a CW one, we can meet up and you can see them side by side! haha

Black looks stealthy, white look plain to me, but boy oh boy, it is so much work to keep it clean for a day to day drive, so I just give up washing car every weekend and enjoy more driving instead, it my car who cares what people think, as long as I got to drive it, that is my 2 cents

Black looks great with ceramic coating!

I went with black being a little older and also I’m a mean person sooo it fits my personality and it also hides some of the craziness. Love my cbp.

I say CW since its exclusive only on the type R , not that CBP is a bad color but I'm almost sure Im Like every one of your guys wanting to keep my car clean and looking good at all times , the upkeep on CBP would drive me nuts !

How is maintenance of the black with the ceramic coating? Im really loving how black looks when shiny, but I've seen half a dozen black regular hatches parked at work and every one looks dull and dirty. I'm already taking my white coupe to the no-touch car wash every weekend, so I'm hoping that getting a future black Type R treated with Ceramic Pro 9H will keep it shiny with a weekly (not daily) wash

15k miles still not getting a ticket for no front plate. Passed multiple cops doing 10 over. PMM is the fastest color.

If you really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really,
really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really,
really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really,
really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really,
enjoy washing your car multiple times per week, and really enjoy detailing your car including polishing it on a regular basis, the go for the black.
I've owned many cars in my life, and I only made the mistake of buying a black car once...a black 1991 Acura NSX, and the only word for it was a "nightmare" to maintain it.
If I washed it in the morning and parked it in a garage, by late afternoon it would be covered with a noticeable layer of dust.
CW or Sonic Gray for me.

I was at the dealership the other day and saw a red CTR. Omg it was so gorgeous. People were stopping to look at it. I had to stop also. Totally turned my head and I think I drooled a little. The red CTR just pops. It wasn’t for sale btw and you could definitely tell it’s somebody’s baby.

From what I can tell, it’s waaaay better than a car without coating. Often, from 10-20 feet away I can’t even see that the car is dirty. I sometimes wash the car twice a week or more but it depends on the weather. The worst thing is probably the water spots...those random light rain showers that turn into nice little beads end up turning into leopard spots if I don’t get out and drive the car dry.
I’d definitely do it again. This is the first car I’ve had with it. Well, my last car I only lived with about 10 days before this car arrived at the dealer...

Small world! Your CTR was the first one I ever saw in person, beautiful! I would to meet up but unfortunately my CW CTR is officially a total loss today. I’m undecided between a replacement CW or CBP. I’d like to see your black one. Where did it get it ceramic coated?

yawn. i just drive a dirty car.

Oh I’ll say this about the rallye red also- takes a while to look dirty. Champ white and rallye red are both just so good looking on CTR.

Isn’t always Black and White!
