Black Pearl and BMW White (2008 BMW 335).
List of Parts that would be added to the SC300

There is Still a long laundary list of parts not mention but thats not the point of this POST it's just to give you a feel of what is on this car and the direction the owner is going. I know him for over four years now (closer to five) and this is not a wish list of parts. He has been collecting these items from way before I met him. Now It's Time For Paint. He Is Looking For Classy With a Racer Feel NOT RICER. If you can Please Post Pictures of the Colors so He can see the Colors You Speak of So Far it's between
Black Pearl OR BMW White (2008 BMW 335).
Thanks For All Input

The correct name for 'BMW White' is Alpine White.

And to answer your question, I think your friend should stick to a Lexus color. If he must, then Alpine White > Pearl Black.

Either color would look good, but since it's got red seats and a red motor, I vote black.

Wait, what's the difference between Starfire and Glacier Frost? I've never seen them parked side by side, so I can't tell the difference.

SFP is very white with like a silverish pearl to it (^^pic)but GFM is kinda cream white in low light with a hugh of blue its kinda weird imo i used to like it but it just changes to much in different light

That fender would look so much better if the top line went with the through line that's along the body of the car. Can't wait to see the finished result though! It's going to look impressive.

I would say go with the black because there are already red elements to the car. Red and white don't really go all that well together but black and red are a very nice looking combination. Can't wait to see this when its all said and done.
