Default Glacier Frost vs. Quartz Shawdow Metallic

I'm getting ready to purchase a 07 GS350 AWD - Torn between these two colors. Getting the Black interior for sure and am leaning towards the Quartz Shadow Metallic.

Anybody got any comments - plus and minus on these two colors?

I agonised over which colour to choose for my GS3 for almost a week, Quartz Shadow was probably my last choice. "Who would want to drive around in a Purple Car?" I asked myself...

2 Days after I had "finally" decided on GFM I saw a QSM GS3 reflecting the sunset looking absolutely gorgeous; I knew that I had to have it. At night it looks black, in the late afternoon it can look grey (similar to flint mica). A lot of people mistake it for a really cool shade of blue - it only really looks purple under neon light.

I got it because I thought it was the most original and distinctive colour they had - and also because one of the girls at work had one in GFM .

QSM was my other choice initially, but it was even HARDER to find than my GFM back when I got it. I decided on the GFM 'cause I was thinking how difficult it would to be to keep the QSM looking pretty...

You've got a point there, Eternity. QSM has been very difficult to keep pretty - almost the first day I had the car it got scratched by the guy who used to wash my old car. Since then i've been washing it myself! Because of the white undercoat scratches will show up very easily.

I also have swirl marks on panels repaired by the dealer after a small accident. All of this can be taken care of by a good detailer - but where can I find one in Kuwait ?

can you post some pics of your QSM? I am in the market for a 07 and QSM is one of the color choices i am considering. but i have yet to see a GS3 in that color in person.
