Default What color?!? Flint Mica, Black Sand Pearl or Black Cherry?

Wassup guys. I'm thinking about buying a tC (my first car) but don't know what color to choose. I've narrowed it to three:
-FM
-BSP
-BCP
please give your suggestions about tha diff. colors. thanks!

These questions never really work b/c you're going to get BSP owners the love BSP and FM owners that love FM, and BCP... well, not many people like BCP.

JK guys.

I personally dont like the look of black paint on our cars. I dont know why, but certain cars just dont look right painted black, and this is one of them.
FM's are a dime a dozen. most of the tC's I see are FM's (maybe that's just b/c of the area im in though). If you dont mind that, go for it. I like the FM color, i just didnt want to be like everyone else.
BCP is one of those hate it or love it colors. I personally don't care for it. BCP does go nicely with a CF hood/hatch and dark rims though.

FM is a good color....however some guys comment that its a ___ color due to the sparkles in the paint....but I beg to differ....ITS MICA flakes...hehee....WHatever floats ur boat tho...as much as I like FM...I hate the fact that A LOT of people in the Nor*Cal Bay Area...it seems to be a popular color....I like it but I'd also prefer a color no one really has...(aside from the RS series of course!)

In all honesty, this is a stupid question.
What's better, blondes? Brunettes? Redheads?
You get the idea...no right answer.
Get what you like.
Just skip the blue ones - they suck. J/K

i have a FM and so does every 1 else in the world, why'd u all have to get FM? jk . . .

I know its not on the list, but if I can go back in time, I'd pick Super White or Silver , only if u were gonna go the cf hood/tint/black rims route. If not don't get white, its for chicks when its stock.

form the list I'd go black sand pearl, black is mean.

From your choices given, I would go with BSP. Here in Cali, I see A LOT of tCs in FM. That has to be the most popular color chosen. If you want to be original, go with BCP. I used to think that color was awful but after seeing it in person, its a nice color. Whatever color you decide on, just be sure to get a California Duster! Those colors show every little bit of dust! That's why I have SSM. You can't tell when its dirty!

FM has alot of glitter.
BSP is pretty nice saw one up close today
BCP i do not like.



my sister has a Superwhite and it actually looks better in person than in pics
CSM is the way to go though.

Be original. Get BCP. Don't see those as much as the FM's or the BSP's.
