Default AHHHH! What color to get?!

So...
What color xB should I get? I was first set on getting a Polar White, but now the Black Sand Pearl and Black Cherry Pearl have started to grow on me. Also, there is the RS1.0. I might have a better chance at getting an RS1.0 than Doc =P. Shhhh, can't tell anyone how...

Anyway, if they have both a white and black manual xB on the lot, I would have a hard time choosing. The Polar White is clean and easily hides scratches and chips. The Black Sand Pearl is just as nice as the Polar White, but I hear about swirls and such... The Black Cherry Pearl would be the last resort... AHHHHHH

help.

As an owner of a black sand pearl xB, I have to say that I think it's the sexiest color out there. I really like the black. I've never had a black car before and I don't regret it at all. I haven't gotten any swirls yet on it, but it's only 2 months old. It shows dirt like crazy, but that's the price you pay for having a sexy black car. If you want easy of maintainance, go with white or thundercloud. Just my 2 cents.

I'm so indecisive about the colors... Black or White would be good...

If i could do it over again, i'd prolly get white.

Then get the carbon lip kit, carbon hood, black housing projectors, carbon wing and mirrors. Whew, all that black and white contrast is sexy...

I am on the brink of buying an xB, as well.

They had the Black Sand Pearl on the lot and I thought it looked fantastic. There are little things that made the black appeal to me more than the white.

The Black hides the rubber lining that's on the roof. (May not actually be rubber, but there's a black line on each side that goes the length of the roof.)

I agree... It's a sexy car in the Black Sand Pearl.

...and imagine throwing some 17" hyperblack Motegi DP6's! That's what I'm going to do.

Get a white one. Black and blue look great--when they are all shiny and clean. But, even so, since they are so reflective, they end up "disappearing" since they reflect the images of everything around them. I had a black Toyota Tercel and it looked sharp when I had just waxed it. Every winter, however, the road grime and salt just made it look disgusting.

But hey, it's a matter of personal preference. As long as it's an xB, you can't go wrong.

I would say go with the RS 1.0 package. Black sucks with scratches but looks so nice when it's clean. I've never had a white car so can't really comment but it also looks nice.

My appologies to the original pic owner, but after seeing that "FedEx" line above, I just had to do it.

As the owner of a black NEON, i can tell you to stay away from black. Black shows dents, dings, swirls, scratches, dirt, rock chips ( my hood looks like the night sky with so many lil rock chips in it ) bird ____ looks great on black, dust, pollen, hard water spots, left over wax residue, road salt, i think that about covers it. From what i understand, white isnt much better, cept it hides bird ____ a littel better

My first choice was the Black Cherry, cause i like the color purple, but then the RS1 came along, now its orange all the way.

If you havent seen all the colors in person you should try to do that. Im not into green cars but when I got a chance to see camo I wanted it. Even the black has a nicer look in person, its not just solid black. Tuff choice though, all seem to be nice.

Yeah, I've seen three black ones, one thundercloud, one black cherry, and one blue... I'd like to see the camo and white... I heard that the bB comes in white and pearly white (ooOoO)...

The black looks nice with the eurolites... The black cherry looks good with bronze wheels, and...I just like white. I love orange, but if I got the RS1.0, I may never hear the end of it from some of my friends...

who the hell cares what your friends think or say. Hows about you have one of a limited number of xBs if you get the RS1s. Im not here to tell you what color to get, that decision is yours to make, not mine, nor your friends.

whatever u do, don't get a dark on like the blue or red....they are really hard to take care of and show every piece of dirt and scratches. If i had it to do all over again, i would get the white or silver.
