Default Question on the silver tC

How is this color in real life? In the pictures I've seen, the color looks flat, almost like aluminum.

I've debating on three colors (black, flint, or silver) and I just can't decide. The dealers around here don't have any in stock for me to take a look at, so I thought I would ask here.

Thanks, in advance!

Tc Silver Steak Mica is the same color as the Silver Streak Mica on the Toyota Corolla. I have seen both in person and they don't SEEM to be the same maybe because of different body styles. If this color question is really important to you I suggest keep looking to find a Silver Tc.

I didn't think it looked flat...it looked like a normal shiny car silver. I'm gettin a flint mica, but you can't go wrong - either one is hot.

Also I would not rely on pictures. You have to see in person to get the full effect.

I like it. I've had mine for about a week and a half. I personally like darker colors but they do tend to show more dirt. And I wasn't fond of the Super White - personal preference. I just took it on a trip to Vegas so it is definatly showing the dirt and water spots (it rained while out there).

My gf - who loves her Silver RSX - seems to like the Silver tC as well. She has also made a few comments that it looks white at times. This occuring when the sun was glaring on it.

If you are really torn on the colors I'd suggest calling around and seeing if any has them on the lot, even if its their only one. You can still look at it. I was lucky in that there are a dozen or so dealers in a 15 mile radius.

Pictures may help but they will never do the colors just.

Good luck.

I've been calling all the dealerships, asking them to let me know when they get one in stock in any of the three colors, just so I can see it in person.

I think that's the only way to go.

I imagine that I'll settle on flint. I've saw that this weekend and really liked it. I would love to go with black, but I think the upkeep on it would suck. Plus, its gets pretty damn hot in Sacramento during the summer.
