Default Which tC should I get?

I cannot decide between the Black Sand Pearl and the Super White. Please help me out. If you have either please post pics for me to compare. Tinted windows are a plus! Thanks

the title of the thread made me laugh, like you were asking "should I get the 2 door or the 4 door?"

ever thought about this color...?

With a lighter color car, you can see all the lines and the shape of the car. Doesnt get dirty as much. And a darker colored car only looks good when its clean and shinny which does not last long. I have a SSM and i love it. Id pick white too if if I could.

Go with white, definitely white, I got the black sand pearl, huge mistake!!! People constantly scratch my car, and if its a bit dusty little kids cant help but write things on it, I have a bit of a swastica and the e and r from when some little kid thought it would be funny to draw a swastica on my hood and write hail hitler, so the e and the r are permanent, I have key marks from people who thought my car was too nice to leave that way, on and on and on. JUST GO WITH WHITE! I saw a white one it looks super hot because it has the glass that runs all down the middle, it is way sexy, just go with that. -Matt

I have the BSP. I've seen all the other colors, and I'm very happy with my choice (could have had an IIP in the meantime, but stuck to my guns). The white does look kick-___ in the fourth pic down in chucksu's post, though, with those great rims. :o

IMO the tC is a car that can look very classy and expensive with the right mods (rims, leather). Mine was sitting about three spaces down from a Benz C230 coupe today, and if you were to debadge them and ask me to guess which was the $16,000 car and which was the $26,000 car, I'd have guessed wrong. (WTF is with the fabric in the C230? It looks like somebody let their kid design the pattern.)

Can you see the body swirls under the paint in the BSP (from when they buffed the body before painting)?

Never noticed any weird undulations or anything, and I looked over the finish pretty closely when I took delivery at the dealer. (And I looked closely enough to notice several tiny bits of tape residue that I at first thought were scratches - dealer wants to re-detail it when my leather gets redone, I didn't even ask. Good dealer.)

White, White, White

Black looks the best on any car but there are SOOO many problems with black...mainly trying to keep it clean. Also white (or any light color) shows off the roof better.

I got silver, but would have got white if I had not already had two white cars in the past 9 years, I needed something different.

Black are hard to maintain... it's already dirty right after you wash it... U start to see dust settling on black car right after a wash... Swirl mark show easily... Oxidise easily... it's terribly hot in the summer... dent or inperfection show easily...

Another safety reason... Black car seems to get rear ended a lot... My friends got black cars and got rear end a few time while sitting and waiting for light to change... Other driver just don't see black car.

Police love to stop black car... Especially if the windows are tint...

Super white is what I got... Easy to maintain... Most of my car are white...

But this is your car... Your choice... Buy what you like, don't worry about what others said...

Get the super white.. Get the super white... HHHHaaaaaaa...

I agree with a lot of the posters in that white is much easier to maintain than black is. On the other hand if you are willing to put in the effort to maintain it, the BSP looks awesome and you'll get a ton of second (and third) looks from people passing you.
