Default flint mica or white?

im ordering a tc in a week or so but i cant decide between the flint mica or the white. they both look so sweet. im not a fan of white but this car looks amazing in it. so anybody got any good pics of flint mica because i havent got a good look at the color from the pics ive seen so far but ive seen it enough to know i like it. is this the type of color u must see in person? so what yall think? white or mica?

To me its the opposite. I own a FM personally, and wasn't all that impressed by the white. That being said, white is not a bad color at all, I just think the super high flake of the tC's paint goes great with dark colors, not so much with white. If done right though, white tC can look really classy!

Pick white. Don't want too many people with the same color tC as me and though one less isn't much, its one less :D

Yah, I'd say white too. The whole "blank canvas" thing and the fact that everyone has flint mica it seems.

I think the white would look nice with the CF hood and trunk too, but that's just mo.

honestly, all the colors scion offered the tC in are great. Flint mica is a color to see in person before really deciding.

i gotta say i'm partial to the flint mica, but that is not just because i have it. I saw pretty much all the colors in person before gettin my tC and i really think the flint mica looks the most elegant and luxurious. But it definitely is not one of the easier colors to maintain. If i had to vote i'd go for the fm, but the white will probably be easier to come by.

I'll take some pics of my flint mica tomorrow so you can see, but because of the fact that it is so highly metallic, its a color that can only truly be appreciated in person.

I think the FM definetly looks better. It looks more expensive. I don't plan on puting decals or artwork on my car so FM is the way to go for me.

I did put a decal on my back window, a 4x4 logo of my university. Looks pretty good, but I have it slightly off to the right and it is ____ing me off. I may just take it off and buy another one.. heh.

If I had to choose between those two, I'd take the flint over the supa white. However, flint is not a color to choose based off of pics, you need to see it in person first to decide if its right for you.
