| Laguna Blue Pearl vs Apex Blue Pearl
Hey Guys! My EG will be painted tomorrow. I'd like to have a blue color and black hood, roof, and tail gate. But...
Im thinking between Laguna Blue Pearl ( http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/uploads/ga...1133785794.jpg) and Apex Blue Pearl ( http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4040/...efc7590afc.jpg)
I wanted to get your opinion here in RS. Which one will suit my Honda EG?
Thanks sooo muchhhho!  )

Generally I like the Laguna blue better, but I think Apex would suit the EG nicely.
To each his own, it's your car and your decision in the end  | |

Apex Blue is such a nice color. That would be my pick.

Isn't it too Girl-ish looking for a guy? I mean the Apex Blue.

S2000 CR is not a girly car. Its a very unique shade of blue.

Apex Blue Pearl looks absolutely beautiful on the CR but, in my opinion, it wouldn't suit the EG very well. I had an EG and have a S2000 currently and I've always thought the EG looked best with a darker shade (of any color really). On the other hand, like others have said, it is your car and it is ultimately up to what you like best.
P.S. I hope you are flexible with your color choice, I'm sure you are aware that there are many many pictures out there of EGs with custom paint; explore your options, find some inspiration, and you might find another color you like better instead of OEM colors. Hope the paint job turns out well!

Thank you! | |

I'm one for vibrant colors. I like the Apex blue.
But my favorite blue of all time...
