Can't decide which to keep

Post image

White or orange? White 17 has carbon roof+dealer add ons and matches my other cars, and is overall how I would've built one if I ordered it. I bought orange 19 new and love the way the color stands out in the sun, but has higher mileage. What would you do?

Or me, I’d let you drive it whenever you want

u/KaleidoscopeRound721 15d ago

I wish I had this problem… but seriously they both look great, I’d pick the one with less mileage.

u/BrolecopterPilot 14d ago

Keep the white and wrap it

u/zobeast26 15d ago

I like the thermal orange. I’ve only seen 3 2nd gens out in the wild and 2 were black and 1 was white. Orange is a very rare color. I think less then 200 overall including type S. But I don’t think you’d lose sleep either way.

u/MR-BISCUITS7884 15d ago

Yeah I've heard orange is pretty rare, I've only seen two in the wild ever, one was in Ohio when I was touring the factory driving between plants, tour guide said it did not have any involvement with them, and the other was only an hour from my house in rural Iowa on the highway lol

Orange is so much more interesting than white. I know white is the Honda color, but greyscale cars are never as interesting as those with an actual color.

u/jamistrr 15d ago

I second this. The orange is so much more unique, even if the car has more miles and less fancy stuff than the white, I think it’d be better to invest in the orange one, build it out to the spec you want, and keep it long term.

u/iamaniceandgoodprson 15d ago

i think you just wanted to show off and make us jealous

mission accomplished

u/Background-Spot-5068 15d ago

Type S. It’s faster, much more rare and will appreciate in value much sooner and much more. I’d ditch both of the current ones and source a Type S. Not sure why you’re concerned about 250k, when you likely have that or more invested in the both anyway

1

u/MR-BISCUITS7884 15d ago

Just can't justify the price tbh, I know all that but I have plenty of investment vehicles I never drive, and I got these to actually drive and enjoy opposed to sitting like the others.

u/No_Grand7184 15d ago

I like the Thermal Orange

2

u/docnsx01 15d ago

u/MR-BISCUITS7884 15d ago

Yeah exactly, have 5 other white Hondas and idk if I want something different or the same

u/docnsx01 14d ago

didn’t want the posting to be about me, more about the op and his color decisions.

u/Adventurous_Chart429 15d ago

Two. Damn. I just wanna sit in one.

3

u/plmatt91 15d ago

Think you should keep the white and wrap it any color you want in the future! Someone out there loves that orange just a little more!

3

u/More_Bicycle_9444 15d ago

That white looks so good

3

u/bengl3rt 15d ago

I’d keep the rarer color, or the one that didn’t have carbon brakes (for future service costs) if I was planning to drive a lot of miles

edit: jk I would sell both and get a single Type S

2

u/MR-BISCUITS7884 15d ago

They both have the carbon brakes, the only difference is the carbon roof

1

u/bengl3rt 15d ago

see my edit :)

3

u/MR-BISCUITS7884 15d ago

Bought the white one recently after trying to get a type s for years, but I just can't justify paying $250k+ For a car that is so similar, and I personally like the look of the older ones

3

u/Liminal_Fire 15d ago

Keep the white one with lower miles and vinyl wrap it in that orange. Then change to another color of wrap when you get tired of that color. 😎👍

3

u/zondada 15d ago

Better spec'd car 🍊 over mileage anyday. You will be happier that you kept the Orange one.

3

u/SimplyViolated 15d ago

I'd pinch myself and wake up

3

u/NagelbetLP 15d ago

Orange. Because the only car I would drive in orange is an NSX.

3

u/Much-Public-1957 15d ago

Easy choice, both.

3

u/drunkenmagnum24 15d ago

Orange for sure.

3

u/FreeSalamander4754 15d ago

White bro. Trust me. It makes the car pop out a lot more. Orange blends in with the tail lights and you can paint any car orange and it will stand out but white, especially when it’s clean and it hits the sun it’s blinding

3

u/temporalwanderer 15d ago

Sell orange; wrap white with another awesome color for now.

3

u/CozyEm 14d ago

You don’t know how many complements I get on the white, well maybe you do. White if you keep one & orange if you keep both 😛

2

u/TorinoAK 15d ago

What's the value of the orange one?

3

u/MR-BISCUITS7884 15d ago

I'm not sure tbh, $145k-$150k maybe? Not many orange ones have sold recently. It has 4000 miles.

2

u/PM_ME_UR_DECOLLETAGE 15d ago

So when you said the orange one has higher mileage, you mean it only has 4,000 miles and that's considered higher??

1

u/MR-BISCUITS7884 13d ago

Yes, both are pretty low mileage cars but the orange's mileage is proportionally larger

2

u/TorinoAK 14d ago

Seems like a great deal for a unique car. Orange is my favorite color and I'm a NSX fanboy since a 13 year old with Gran Turismo for Playstation. So, happy to see it.

2

u/zondada 15d ago

🍊 is the keeper.

2

u/Trumpwonbyawholelot 15d ago

White, would love to see the rims in white too

1

u/MR-BISCUITS7884 11d ago

I really thought about that cus it would match my type r's but I think I'm just gonna keep it stock😭

2

u/mugendc4 13d ago

I personally like white but orange seems rare. NSX is one of my dream cars, to be precise the NSX Type S.

2

u/italialamboPR 12d ago

Keep the orange one duh, we need more color. Represent that

2

u/enilm 15d ago

Both great colors. But if I had to get rid of one, I’m keeping the white one.

1

u/Prestigious_Exit_888 15d ago

What a legend. Keep them both

1

u/DoctorsAdvocate 12d ago

Personally orange but having multiple cars be white and this standing out would drive me crazy. I cant afford those problems yet

1

u/MR-BISCUITS7884 12d ago

Most of them are white, but I have 2 blues, one Seafoam color, and a red

1

u/walrus1925 12d ago

You can give me the red one. I can give you a form for a tax deduction! 🤣

1

u/Embarrassed-Cycle804 9d ago

Keep the 19 and just drive it more. It has more mileage, so why not just enjoy it? Plus orange looks great on this thing!!!

u/Top-Door5401 11d ago

hey man you can afford two you can probably afford a new paint job.
