Question GFM or White?

As you know I ordered the GFM, but now I'm having thoughts for the white also

Is there any GFM and White pics that has the OEM bumper and lips?

or at least I want to see a good and clear picture of GFM.

I'm getting crazy! 114 days of wait now I'm thinking of a different color

Starfire pearl is awesome. Haha everytime I see one I wish I would have got that instead of TP, but then I am partial to bright white.

Yes I originally wanted GFM but then when Starfire Pearl came out I had to get it, I like it alot more then GFM.

Here are some pics of my new Starfire Pearl.

is there any difference in Crystal White and Starfire Pearl?

anyway -- I think with either color you'll be pleased! stick with GFM for something a little different or Starfire for a more classic color....both look GREAT on the IS - so you can't lose!

Starfire Pearl has more "pearl" in the paint then Crystal White. Definitely noticeable in person. It just sparkles at night, I love it.

I got hoens for my parkings and DRL/highbeams.

My fogs are Mtec Cosmos 4750k.

Got them through ebay. I originally wanted a hid kit for the fogs but I just couldnt gush out $200+ for them.
