Default Crystal white or Glacier?

What color would you pick? Crystal White or Glacier Frost Mica?
The crystal white is nice and sharp. Glacier looks really "milky" but at the same time the paint looks "expensive".

You should change the thread title to something less vague.

Glacier frost > Crystal White. It stays cleaner and it's a bigger head turner while still giving that "sexiness" of the white

I voted for the Glacier too. However, I have heard that color might be a touch-up/repaint issue since it's going to be hard to match, especially when the original paint ages a little. Just a thought to "help"...

its just too bad you cant get silver with the cashmere interior. its ridiculous actually.


I recently got a chance to see the GFM. my god it looks like primer. I was speechless when I saw it and only the cashmere interior made it even infinitesimally considered. the salesman was the one who said it looked like primer but ' of course thats just my opinion' . hah. hes right. CW all the way.

I like both, but glacier frost is the more unique, rarer paint

Both of them are a touch-up/repaint, I have crystal white on my current IS and its a BIOTCH with the pearl. And to match it is tough also, when I had my lsportline front end installed they tried and tried to get it to match from the start. They did a GREAT job, the pearl compared to the pearl on the rest of the car looks perfect but at first th bumper was just a hair brighter then the rest of the car even though at the time the paint was only a year old. The paint has cured just right now, and you can't even tell but I was worried at the time. So unless you get a flat paint there will be an issue with matching and touch-up etc.

Either color is gorgeous so I don't think you would do wrong with either.

Glacier Pearl. Its definitely an outstanding color. I believe its more rare color to the Crystal White.

Which IMO looks a lot like DWP. Very nice color. But to me, anything White Pearl is awesome.
