Check out the carbon gray in different light and times of day. There is a very definate brown tint to the paint.

Get whatever color you feel the car looks best in.... To me, it seems almost all Pannys are black, silver or grey; I like to step out a little bit when it comes to color

I think Carbon Grey is certainly a more common color. That being said, I have one with Turbo2 wheels which match perfectly. I saw GT Silver once and it pops like no other silver! Have you seen both in person?

Carbon Grey is dark and can have Dark Color problems, swirl marks etc. But it looks different in different light: Two pics here one in the sun and the other with no direct sun!

Whatever you do, make sure to get the Rear Valance painted option. With colors like that, it makes a big difference in the look of the car. When I bought my P2S, I chose Black over GT Silver because the GT Silver one (in stock) didn't have the rear painted and it just stuck out too much for my tastes. The pics above show the silver with the painted rear valance and it looks great.

One other thing to think about is how the Side Vents on the PTT are painted silver instead of black. On the Carbon, that really adds some character to the car. It doesn't show as much on the GT Silver. I liked that so much I swapped my black vents for silver ones on my P2S and love how much it adds to the look.

Having given a long answer to a simple question...my vote is for GT Silver (with rear valance painted).

Yeah, I forgot to mention the carbon grey in the pics are of a non-turbo. GT Sil is a turbo!

This car makes its presence felt the most in lighter colors so I would pick GT Silver

Mine is DARK Blue and it is a rare yet gorgeous color. It is very dark with a nice hinge of blue under the Sun, and the unpainted sides/rear valence blend in nicely with it. I think it is one of the best blue color I have ever seen (aside from LRDog's Aqua Blue, which is just a killer color!! ). And yes I know I am biased :P
