Color of Pilot to match a house? - Honda Pilot

OnHonda11 · 10-19-2005, 08:36 PM

Okay, am I nuts or do other Piloteer's take into consideration their house color/garage door colors and a 2nd vehicle color when deciding a color for a new vehicle purchase? I can't make up my mind. I'm selling my '03 Pilot and am going to be ordering an '06 Pilot EXL (ssswwwweeeeeetttt). What I can't decide is whether I order the ammonite green metallic or the steel blue metallic. I like both equally but the green goes much better with my house. I am concerned though how I will find mats that match the olive leather interior.

I was been unable to find a red brick RidgeLine and S2000 - so had to settle for plain white.

Hey,

I'm waiting for the Steel Blue Metallic ... on order for two weeks so far. I got so frustrated I chose the Red Metallic as a second choice ... Good luck ... that color is not in either.

URRRRR!

You cant go wrong by trying to match colors of your cars with your house.

Sandstone Pilot compliments house color while NBP TL & CB900 picks up on the dark trims on the window & black painted eaves trough & gutters.

just when you thought all questions had been covered on the board

See, I'm not as crazy as some may think! Borg's colors look great together!

Unfortunately in Canada, we're second class customers and don't as many choices as our friends to the south. We don't get white Pilots as well as Satelite radio nor does our Navi come with RES. Plus an EXL Pilot here is $44,500 msrp with a Canadian dollar worth $.85 US. Plus Freight/PDI is $1500 even though they are made an hour away in Barrie ON. Sorry to get started. Now back to that color thing.

I like the steel blue matellic, not sure about the colour of your house/garage but you park your Pilot inside the garage. Saw the new 06 Pilot last week at Ideal Honda, it is soooo beautiful.

It looks like a few of the bricks are already a matching white. Either (A) your house is slowly morphing to be more like the car, or (B) you are repainting your house to match the car... one brick at a time.

Or (C) the bricks have always been that way and I just got carried away with white vehicles!!! (RidgeLine, S2000 and NX250).

I guess I gotta do something about my Dark Gray Metallic Wing and "arrest me" Red ST1100!!!
