I have an 01 IJM IS300 but I've been feeling the DWP...I'm debating in repainting my car to DWP maybe some time next year around spring...What do you guys think since the IJM is a rare color....?

color changes are quite expensive done right, for example you have to do door jambs, trunk jambs, and etc. to make it look right and a legit color change you would also need to paint the engine bay and under the hood and etc. color changes are not really practical on cars unless they are classic or you have it stripped bare to do the color change which is all a lot of work, time, and money. if there isn't anything wrong with the paint on your car now then i would leave it for sure.

White is classy to bad that green is the color of every 1998 accord. I'd stick with the ijm for the fact that it is different though.
