Everyone will be bias about color. My first choice before getting a tC was black, but then I got a FM. FM is a awesome color. I think this decision should be up to you not us.

you see i don't have a problem with either color bsp is best when you know how to take care of your car or else you'd see some swirl marks. fm is easy to clean and the sparkle it has in it sexy. i own a fm but now i'm craving for superwhite. superwhite with factory kit, lowered, and exhaust on it = sexy

BSP is the only way to go ESP. if you plan on doing cosmetic mods.

right now my head is telling me FM, but my heart is saying BSP. so it's still a crapshoot. anyone have an opinion on the anzo tails... what they look like on the FM vs. the BSP?

thank you for all of your posts... i do appreciate the input!

BSP really isn't that hard to keep clean... it's a METALIC black... NOT a flat black color. So the metallic in the paint tends to hide the dirt a little better then a flat black.

Also - FM appears to be a little easier to keep clean because it looks the same clean or dirty... it's just a blah color without the same POP at a BSP.

I had to make the same choice and thankfully they were able to line up a FM and a BSP together for me to compare in person. I personally think the BSP blew the FM away... the reflections in the paint are amazing and as I said before it adds a level of class that FM just does not have.

FM is nice, but everyone and their mother has one. Get the BSP, you won't be dissapointed once you put on the Anzo's, Peace.

thanks forcenut, that was a very helpful post. i am going to try to find the opportunity to compare the two side by side... and something's telling me that i'm going to draw the same conclusion that you did.

thanks again everyone! i'll let you know what i end up deciding... maybe i'll even post a pic or two if i figure that out.

and if anyone still has anymore insight... i'm still reading!

It depends on the look you want? Or if your color choice is based on ease of care.

I have an FM and love it. It looks awesome in the day when it's clean. Sometimes it changes color from blue, to green, gray and black. But at night it looks black. It's real easy to care for and doesn't show all the swirls like a BSP. If I could recommend a color it would be SW tho. Only becuz mods look great on it (gold wheels, CF, etc.) and it's easy to care for. Me personally I don't mind washing the car every week. Good luck in your choice!

i have FM and if i couple go back I would...FM doesnt match with many colors, black rims on it look ugly, carbon fiber looks too similar, and its just ahrd 2 find the right colors to go with it...in my honest opinion: go for white
