Default What color is your tC

I hear and see alot of talk about flint mica tC's and was wondering which actually is out there the most. So please dont pick which you like the best or which you wish you would have, but rather pick the color thats in your garage.

yeah, I've got a flint mica, just like everybody else, but that's like saying "yeah, I have the highest-end of electronics bla-bla-bla, just like everybody else"

I hear about the Flint Mica, yet the ones I see out on the road and on the lots the most are white, and indigo ink. I love the mica and the black, it just looks good, but my last car was black, and i wanted something different.

Is there a difference if what's most popular color or what each one has for a color on their tC?
Otherwise repost

I think there is a slight difference, some people want the mica or blue or whatever yet settle for something else because they dont want to wait. I know I had a shot at a black, silver, blue, cherry, and white, yet I chose to wait it out till the Flint mica came in.

I may be the odd ball, but there is a flint mica around the corner from me and the more I look at it, the more I don't like it. Too gray for me.

Thats what it looks like to me, a mildly dark gray. I've seen pictures that make it look hot, but seeing that car around the corner made me glad I went with indigo ink.

see, now flint mica looks hot in that pic.


but in this one, it's hot, but not as hot.


maybe its just the way it looks in a brighter light to me. Dont get me wrong, I like the color, its just not my tastes.

well, in the first pic it's nicely waxed, clean and rearing to go

the second pic is completely soaked in dew, looks way too bland and dull and not refractive enough, and there's no depth to the paint because of the water

I agree, but the FM I saw without dew and in regular light just didn't do it for me, but thats me. It's a beautiful color, just not my tastes.

the top FM tc is from larry flint's gallery, which is herehttps://www.scionlife.com/gallery/sh...r=6655&cat=500. He has the ground effects, but his springs have a little bit more of a drop than the TRD lowering springs.

Super white was my first choice, but none were coming in so I went with indigo (2nd choice) and had the car within a week.
