Tungsten Pearl, my 3rd choice. Since it had most of the options I wanted. It was a compromise. Had a black car before, never again! 1st choice was Glacier Frost Mica but its so rare in a 350. Looking back, kinda glad I didn't get it since its hard to match for lips, spoilers etc. 2nd choice was Starfire Pearl but that didn't happen.

Black Onyx. I was turning 17 and I was having the typical teenage "murdered out" phase. I wouldn't settle for anything besides black on black. My taste is a bit more refined now and i strive for the clean and classy look. Perfect for a black car Next time around I think i want a white car though, black is sexy but high maintenance.

GFM. I always liked neutral colors for my vehicles, However black was too hard to clean IMO. With GFM, I get a nice neutral color with some style and flare!

Black, because it looks great (when clean at least) and because they stopped offering SGM for 2012
Apparently (according to my inside sources at least) the Fukashima earthquake damaged the plant where they make the flake for the SGM... sounds bogus, but all I know is that the SGM has been replaced with the Nebula Grey. In my humble opinion, the new grey is a little dull. RIP SGM

Black/Obsidian still looks mean though!
