If you can't fine a white on black, then the best thing you can do is swap interiors. Other than that, good luck finding one. And when you do, you'll know you have to compromise on some part (like high mileage) because the chances you'll run into another white on black is slim.

it's dwp(diamond white pearl), not dpw. Jeff's car is an 05, therefore it is crystal white.

I have an 03 430 Parchment Crystal Pearl with black, its nearly white in the sun I live near a metro area of about 400K people about 150 west of Chicago. Since I read a review of the first of the 2nd gen, I watched GS 4 models trickle through the local dealer who would go months at a time without any. I took what I could get, but not sure what I would have settled for. What I want, is carbon fiber where the wood is, but don't want a kit.

Why not just paint the car, rather than switch the interior? I would think it would be a faster process to just paint. Everyone wants a new paint job anyways.

I would love to have black but would hate it with the hot texas sun, black does look very good. But I settled for an in between.

DWP on *Gray*. looks much better then tan in my opinion although none of the color combos look bad on the GS, oh wait I take that back the sport design with the saddle seats is

I know some of you guys out there love that combo, I just dont see why
