OK, I had my mindset on the BOP due to black cars looking pretty badass. However, the car will be in the sun alot, and be getting in situations for waterspots. Plus, most Scions I see are black. I even got the paperwork with BOP on it. However I haven't finalized the deal and maybe want to change.
Second choice, Camo green. It looks sweet, and not very common. However, seems as if the waterspot, sun problem will be the same.
Third- Polar white. No waterspot/ sun problems, but the majority of cars on the road are white.

P.S. I live in Hawaii. That might affect it.

I wanted the Camo green color but didn't have enough patience to wait for it to arrive, and wound up taking a Black Cherry one that was already on the lot. I wasn't sure if I could get used to that but after a few days I see that I love this color.

Thing is, it does tend to show the dust and road salt pretty quick. I might have to be spraying this car down every day if I want it to look perfect all the time. (not)

btw...I'm curious about Hawaii...here in Michigan we deal with salt corrosion because of all the winter road salting we do. Does the ocean salt spray do the same thing to cars on the islands?

If I can get it done, I'm gonna change to the camo. The pics I see look damn nice.

TCM=no water spots, it doesn't absorb too much heat in the sun and is statisticly less likely to get into a accident.(silver cars) just my opinion on color. I have a TCM and I love it. TCM also compliments chrome very well and gunmetal rims too.

I would choose white, for its clean look. If not, then black, to make it look bad ___ ...

Don't forget, the lighter colors get waterspots, they just aren't as noticable. They are still just as bad for your paint tho, and maybe more hazardous since not as visible.

I'm partial to TCM since that's what I have. But with the recent influx of certain aftermarket parts, I'd go w/ camo.

Thanks everyone, I decided for the camo over BSP

I didn't get to see what a camo looked like until after I bought my TCM. I saw one at the dealership and felt like I should have gotten a camo instead. I live where its dusty most of the year, expcet when its raining, and my xB is always outside, so thus the decision for TCM.

You'll like the camo as the combinations are endless.
