I was originally looking for a black turbo, but when I saw one up close (IMO) it looked like a big undefined blob

In wedge-shaped cars (C4 Corvette, Ferrari 348, Lotus Espirit, NSX, etc) black looks great, light colors look best on cars with curves.

Viva la Silver

I have no problems keeping mine clean. Just Zaino, keep it under a cover in the garage and dust it with CA Duster.

White may be the new silver, but Black will always be black!

having had a blk over tan p car. your car looks great if you like the contrast (i do) but you do get a littlle tired of the small imperfections that only show on blk. guess what you are the only person that sees them on your car. a few years ago all my cars where blk now they are all white......

I`m agree with you....a black car doesn`t show his lines! you can`t see the details!
my brother have a Carrera S with aerokit and during the night when you follow him...you don`t see the rear wing!
I personally dont like black...1) you have to be very very carefull when you wash it!...2) you don`t see the lines of the car....

mines is silver GT.....you can see all the car from any angle! at any time!

take care!

I have the same exact color combo and was thinking of getting the techart front. Post the updated pics, so we can see how it looks with the new front

It's not easy to take great pics of a black car also (get a good exposure)

point well taken. Silver and white are classic and crisp, but you can't get any more evil/ badass/ hawt than Black! Wash and enjoy for 2 minutes with pride!

your car looks sick! Yah black is harder to keep clean, but when it's clean it's the meanest looking color IMO. By the way, I have the same wheels, great choice! What product do you use to keep the lips nice and shiny?
