Default much needed opinions on color

I really wanted a manual but LA traffic is horrific....and my mom wants to drive it as well so iv decided on the automatic for sure....just not sure what color to get....at first i wanted the flint mica but noticed everyone wanted that shade so now im debating...i would get white...looks real clean but everyones telling me its a bit girly....so now im left with black sand and silver streak.....in need of your opinions badly....preferable from the females

My vote is for the black sand pearl... its much more beautiful in person. The black is more like a very very very dark dark dark charcoal with tons of metallic flakes... just like the flint mica. The dust doesn't show too much... just watch out for finger prints.

Check out my black sand pearl automatic...

I was about to get a Silver tC, but then I saw it in black. When I first saw it, I knew right off the bat that is what I wanted. Slap on some tint and it's one mean looking ride. As long as your a neat freak like me and don't mind cleaning your car more often, then go with the black. You won't be disappointed. :D

Yeah i like the black....but i cant get over how well the silver and tinted windows/semi black housing of the headlights plus the black glass roof go well together...With black...its just...black here...black there...But with the silver...you get silver here...black here....silver here.....etc....i also plan on getting gunmetal colored rims...if not black rims.....just giving my input....anyone else agree/disagree?

Is the blue any good (for my own question) Since I seen too many silver cars and I'm not wanting to go with black (for the carbon fiber look when I get some carbon fiber parts) so I'm just slappin this post on this thread to ask what people think of the blue

I guess its up to you which style you like... contrast & details or low profile... Anyways... which ever you choose, make sure to get the springs to lower it a bit... it looks a lot better...

personally i like silver...its just the cleanest looking color to me. black is very, very nice but i don't wanna have to wash my car every 2 days and black cars have a tendency to show scuffs, scratches and swirl marks much more than other colors. plus...black cars with dark, dark window tint looks a tad stupid. a silver or light colored car always looks better with the darkest windows. not saying tint looks bad on black, just that if it's too dark it just looks odd on a black car.

live in SF, driving an IIP tC. normally i don't pay attention on other drivers' reaction. but as my friend riding with me, he aleays point out "hey that chick over on that car looking at your car", so i guess the tC gather attention. to bad they look only at the car, not me.

I personally recomend the Indigo Ink, It looks really good at night and had a bad ___ tint in the sunlight.
