I will be buying a Scion tC very soon... I can't decide whether to get Super White or Flint Mica. I am getting factory window tint too.

I've seen pictures of tinted, super white tCs but no tinted, flint mica tCs. Which color do you guys think looks better with tinted windows?

I like both colors but was leaning towards the super white. Though my fiance likes the flint mica better. Also, my local dealership said that super white was much easier to get than flint mica.

What do you guys think? Questions, comments, and pictures are all welcome.

Thanks!! (long time listener, first time caller)

 

Color wise the white is easier to get because it isn't as popular as the flint mica. But as far as tint goes, both look real nice. It's really going to come down to your personal preference of color. White is a bit more luxurious, easier to see and ok to keep clean. Flint mica, new exclusive color that nobody else has,(closest match is BMW) it's a bit hotter but what the heck you'll be stylin, you'll have to maintain the paint with a few more washes than the white cuz dark colors show dirt more. But hey it's well worth it if you can wait a month for it. You could flip a coin, or just go with your gutt instinct which in your case is your fiances opinion.

 

lol
Yeah, she'll probably end up winning

What color does BMW have that's closest to flint mica?

 

Nairod is correct about the Flint Mica being the more popular color right now with the tC. As far as choices go, between the Super White and the Flint Mica, you really can't go wrong, just depends on which YOU like better. I personally like the Super White, but after seeing the Flint Mica everyday, it really is a tough decision.

Nairod, as far as the Flint Mica color, Lexus uses that on their IS300.

 

I was unable to locate a flint mica color on lexus' website

 

i can't agree more with this portion

 

Lexus uses Graphite Gray Pearl, not Flint Mica... the Flint Mica is much better ;)

and EVERY car looks better with tints... but i'm talking about just regular smoked tint, no reflective whatever.

 

Actually, Lexus uses the Flint Mica on their RX (small SUV).

There's factory tint available for the tC? I never heard anything about that. Is it available in CA?

 

I prefer the flint mica, and even though it was in demand, i only had to wait a week for it to be delivered. I personally think that the white and azure pearl tC's are a bit feminine. And it always works out for the best to just listen to the wife =)

 

Good looking out guys, sorry, I was thrown off there.

 

The closest color I could find that BMW has was Titanium Gray, but even that color does not look as good as the Flint Mica with all the colors of the rainbow in it.
