Is WWP the only white? The car above doesn't look like WWP. Maybe it's the lighting?

There is also crystal white pearl, looks the same really, slight difference in flake volume. The color is really sensitive to light, so id call it a lighting difference

My '07 is "Crystal White Pearl" and the other day I was at a meet and there was a WWP there and I didn't see any color difference. There may be a difference, I just didn't see it.

My '07 is also a Crystal White and I can't tell the difference either... but it's annoying, because "Crystal White Pearl" doesn't seem to be an option when choosing colors for authentic Mazdaspeed kits, so I'm always afraid that when I do eventually order a piece, it won't match.

We had a meet recently and a guy had a white base auto and the color did not have the pearl affect or flake. I thought so at the time but didn't wanna mention it and him feel insulted. Another member has a white 07 GT and the color looked great with the flake and all. I knew there was a difference. At least to me it was obvious anyway.

Sounds like a re-paint. Our paint isn't cheap to apply They may have just repainted it regular white.


The difference between WWP and CWP is so hard to tell, it really takes a direct bright sun and both cars next to each other. The Crystal white pearl has a more flake than the WWP.


At least the CWP I compared mine with.



It is certainly viable that the only difference is in who mixed the paint that day at the factory


Bottom line: It's still the best color

This was taken with a few friends playing around on on ramps here in Jacksonville (everywhere else is just too damn flat...) It was taken from a supercharged rsx before fwd kicked in and he couldn't keep up
Anyway, I liked the shot so here it is, we were going aprox 75..

I miss my WWP sometimes, but then I just look at how sexy my WB is and how much more it stands out...

i'm saving up for some rims (: i was thinking works XT-7's. and as for a drop i'm still debating. i want to close up that wheel gap but my bumper is already pretty low. i've got some time to think about it though. put a pause on the modding until summer.
