well im trading in the box for a tC, why, im dying to get out of a 4 door slug, no offence, just throwning a stone in my own glass house
my thing is, i am torn, i dont know which color i want, i do know that i am going to get the pedistal spoiler because it is the only option that finishes off the back end of the car
here are my thoughts on colors
Azure-Cant, a friend will kill me
Super White--not another white car
Silver--Nice but how does it do dirt wise, does it show scratches
Black--more than likely my fav color, but not to into owning a black car in fla
Black Cherry--not a fan of dark reds but input app. same ?s as silver
Nautical Blue--love blue, but do too many people own this color??
Flint Mica--NO WAY, i know 4 people with this color, too frequently around me

azure= too girly IMO
white= with the oem lip + slammed = drool worthy
silver= bland IMO. starts to look decent with some bronze/gunmetal rims and some cf pieces. doesn't show much dirt/scratches.
black= in FL?! dirty.... hot as crap.... ummm i did the black car thing last summer for a month... was NOT fun.
BCP= shows dirt/defects more than silver. i dont particularly like this color, but that's a personal preference.
Naut Blue= just as hard as black to keep clean. shows swirling easily. when clean though... *drool* (check my profile for pics).
flint mica- pretty color... but as you said, everyone and their mother (plus their brother) has this color.

Super White with lip kit...okay, I'm biased, but I love it!
Second choice for me would be silver. Very easy color to keep looking good. Black is too difficult to keep looking nice, but if you're willing to spend the time on it, it looks great.

florida you dont have to have a front plate, i think that i lucked out, box has a front plate cuz it spent 6 months in VA, and you have to have a front plate up there
azure= The guys at Parliment House will love you!
white= Lots of dress up potential
silver= easily confused with hondas
black= Car is hot, but chicks dig it
BCP= Latin and chick color
Naut Blue= Making a statement

thanks alot for the input guys
IMO flint mica is second to NONE, that follower BS is just that BS, im not really bias tho because i had a BSP last summer, it was nice but the flint mica is awesome! see one washed waxed and pollished... even when its dirty it still shines. white doesnt have the metalic flakes, silver blurrs with the rest of the colors, BCP is nice if thats your thing, AP is ok better in person then pics but i would never sport it, BSP is very nice great color on the tC the metalics is awesome, whats left?? Blue... IIP was my FIRST choice, but iw anted an 06 IIP wasnt offered for 06, i DIDNT LIKE NB it had a purplish hue to it which i didnt like IMO IIP was a lot nicer. and i litterally thought about every color, my final desion came down to SW, BSP (again), or FM, then i went in each one of the color cults page and that helped alot... i went tot he FM Cult page, saw a couple i loved (to name 1 Eujins tC) i forgot all about SW and BSP. it was that easy for me. went to the dealership they had a 5 speed FM ont he lot... 5 min later it was moved to the back of the lot with a sold tag on it 
all thats my personal opinion tho... if your ahvin difficulties thinkin about teh color check the Cults lol. but if your into color matching lighting and colors with your car... FM might be hard, i would go with BSP for that alot of colors go good with that... but take a look at those color cults for a better idea.
