ya skippy your half the reason i wanna get a SW!

maybe i should just buy one of each!

im just not sure that the CF hatch and hood and all will look all that awsome with BSP?

think the dealer would work with me on like a one week deal..if i buy the BSP and dont like it 7 days later come back and get white?

i love my BSP but it does suck at times. swirls, dirt, it all shows up much worse. however, i would not choose SW instead. maybe SSM but not SW.

how does the CF look on the BSP...cause BSP isnt 100% black, and thats was leaves me uneasy with CF against the Black SAND. but SW is a definate WHITE and CF just stands out and gives a look to it...what a predicament

Love my SW. IMO no other color looks nearly as good on the tC as the super white. It's stunning- really sets off the black glass top. The BSP (again, IMO) doesn't stand out and shine the way the SW does.

just called my dealer and they got my BSP tC with ground effects in yesterday. i told them im not looking to finish the deal until March 20th or so. he told me he is going to hang onto this car for me. then i asked about switching to the SW with groundeffects. and said it would be NO problem at all just have to bring in the white car.
im going tomorrow to get a look at the BSP they have brought in and make the final decision.

i have never seen a tC (any color) with the ground effectss inperson.

any last suggestions before i make the final choice?

kinda feels like Indiana Jones and having to choose the right cup to drink from. except im not Harrison Ford, and its a car not a cup and this isnt life or death...well i guess its not the same

i say go with the SW because it almost always looks clean. and with the CF, ull most def turn heads.

CF on BSP is a good idea too but its gonna be stealthy and hard to see. and once the dust settls on the paint, ull definly notice it.

go SW, hop on the band wagon for SW hehe

B; Uh no i wont change my mind. BSP tops SW.
C; not unhappy, dont want to change it

I love my BSP but it is insanely hard to keep clean especially with all this dang rain!!!

SW looks awesome from all the pics i've seen to but i've never seen it in person.

I love black... I've owned a few white cars and even if you clean them and wax them up they still don't look nearly as shiny as a black car.. The only downside to black is what you can see on it - when you drive it in the winter it's impossible to keep clean, and if you live on a dirt road good luck... but if you live on a paved road and drive on mostly paved roads I say go with the black.

You'll thank yourself on the first summer day you wash and wax it and it looks like a sheet of black ice.

if you can put in the time and money to take care of a BSP, (i.e. getting quality car-care products and washing it yourself) then go for it. good care means a shiny car which means it will get looks from passers-by. you can get SW, and you can probably get away with not having as much care, but all that dirt, scratches, swirls will mess up you paint really fast, and you'll end up with a faded SW in no time.

Carbon fiber on black is a very low-key look. It doesn't stand out as much, but it looks agressive. It's a great looking color, but realize you'll be spending a lot of time carefully detailing your car, and you will hate birds with a firey passion.

Carbon fiber on white stands out much more, and white always looks clean--it tends to show off the lines of almost any car.

If you go with White, CF EVERYTHING.

If you go with black, get the carbon fiber painted with a transparent smoke tint. I've seen this on black cars many times, and it looks hot.
