Default Glacier Frost Mica or Starfire Pearl?

Hey all,

Im currently in the process of buyin an IS250 and needed some opinions on the color. The starfire pearl is what i was going to go for but the glacier frost mica is an amazing color. i was told and have SEEN the mica at night time or when it is kind of gloomy out and it doesnt look as nice. to me it kinda looks a little dirty and you dont get that full effect of how gorgeous it really is. What are some of your opinions on these two colors?

As has been said above, you really need to see the paint in person before you make any decisions...
This is Crystal white (2006 white), not much of a difference between it and Starfire.

I wanted the Glacier but decided on Starfire. Now that I see Glacier on the roads, it's kinda gay, not that there's anything wrong with being gay.

I wanted Glacier but had to settle for Starfire....or i thought I settled, but I am very happy with Starfire Pearl. i like how It changes color at night (silverish blues flakes). not as much as Glacier, but enough for me to be happy.

Not much of a difference. Nobody is ever going to pay that much attention to tell the difference.

Love my Glacier, but white is amazing too with it's rich, multi-hues. It's entirely up to you though. Which color do you like? What would make you happy over the longrun?

Glacier frost mica is my favorite of the 2 colors. But isn't it difficult to color-match if any bodywork or paintwork is needed?
