Well, I'm looking forward to picking up my GFM.
I hope you installed a pockysensor on yours soon. (inside joke from knihc's thread)

Well, I went to the dealership today during a cloudy, overcast day. I will soon have a Crystal White in my garage. Although GFM looks great to me in the sun, It was unimpressive today, very blue. Probably couldn't get one anyway, as people are standing in line to get the 350's in my area, even the common colors. I should have my car by the end of the month.

California?

When viewed close up under bright sunlight or under artificial light (e.g. parking lot lights), the crystal white has a real cool mica effect. If flat lighting, or from across the parking lot, it just looks like regular non-metallic white.

cause your right the CW has a great flake/mica color to it that really does pop in person. It certainly doesn't look like a flat white. Maybe i'll try to take some new pics now that it stopped raining everyday

Seriuosly, though, pocky - I hope you get it soon. I had to wait 2 months for mine (back in September through end of November) and the wait was pure TORTURE!!!
