When I see Evo's whether it be online, or just out on the street, they're usually silver, white or red. Yellow is obnoxious IMO, and doesn't look good on anything.

Black, I think, never gets old.

Yellow means you want to be seen/noticed

Yellow means you are not afraid to attract attention to yourself.

Have the nuts to do what you want. Why do you give a flip about what someone else thinks? Conformist? Afraid? Schedule a psychiatrist visit.
you could ride a **** brown Ducati 999 and it'd still look sweet. thats a killer bike.
yes... i am jealous.

It may be, but it sounds like you're trying to persuade your friend to not get the car because YOU don't like it.

I don't like the color either, but I won't be the one driving it, neither will you. So why even care?

Don't take it personal, just my .02.

Yellow isnt that bad...if he likes it then more power to him.

Off topic but whats wrong with electric blue......***

I personally like yellow but having owned 2 yellow cars and gone through the hassles of all the attention they bring, I am doubtful I would ever buy another one.

Yellow paint is hard to take care of. I can't use paste wax on it since the paint comes OFF on the rag... I have it professionally buffed each year and just use spray wax in between.

Otherwise, I love the yellow. my 2nd favorite is electric blue (on the IX), not a BBY fan.

My stock looking evo:

I haven't seen another one in CT since I bought this one. Someone told me there was one around, but apparently it got into an accident and was totaled

I drive a yellow Lancer. Not really a cool looking car but apparently I thought so back in high school. I never had trouble attracting unwanted attention, but then again it's a Lancer...

Notice how everyone is saying, "Personally, I like cars that are (insert color here)." Just go with the color you (or your cousin in this case) personally likes the best. You say your cousin wants to buy a yellow Evo, so he should buy a yellow Evo. Just my 2.

As for the color fading, my yellow paint is just as rich in color as it was the day I got it. Be happy Mitsubishi has a decent looking yellow, unlike that pale crap Subaru and Hyundai have

colors fine, attention is not!

you'll be suprised how many people know "the kid with the yellow evo" or how many cops will remmeber you.

i guess it depends on your age & location though

ahh yes even some evo owners are "hatin" on the yellow evo's ....typical. Yellow's tend to get a bad rap and and attract attention. If you dont want attention dont buy it simple as that. I love mine and the LY's look so good with a set of black or blue rims..yes blue (evotagger's old evo...hawt!) Get a set of coilovers, black rims, cf lip, cf trunk no wing and that to me... looks pimp!
