White because the car has a lot of bulges and lines etc. in real life. It looks very different from pictures. All of those design elements are more prominent in white.

I battled the same issue, went with white because it showed off more lines of the car..

Ditto what my RC-F brethren have said - white shows off all the gorgeous lines much better.

I vote white. White looks great before and after the track.

I think the white looks better than the black, but I'm bias I bought white. And I agree with the others, the white shows off the body lines much better.




I have owned 7 Black cars and 4 white cars and 5 silver cars.


IMO white and black are both a pain in the *** to keep clean.


Black will look dirty 5 minutes after you wash it,
White will look dirty as soon as you have overnight moister which then acts as a magnet and everything on the road sticks to it making the car look dirty with black dirt spots everywhere.


silver is by far the easiest because the dirt blends with the color, the issue then becomes the minute some azzhat rubs against the car the dirt scratches the paint.. While an issue with any color, on silver and black those micro scratches show up like a neon light, on white not so much.


I will also point out that every car I have ever received a ticket in was black, silver and white tend to blend with the crowd and you don't get pulled out by the popo as often.

Color is such a personal choice, it's hard to make a recommendation. My VW Jetta is the first and last Black car I'll own. So much trouble to keep looking good I gave up. Problem with the black is that it's a non-metallic black so it shows every swirl mark or tiniest scratch. Perhaps the Obsidian won't show as many imperfections because it has the metallic/pearl finish.

Obsidian will show every swirl, but it looks more menacing and I prefer it over white because in my area, white is too common.
