Stuck between two colors... post pics please I need some help

gqambitions · 03-10-2015, 05:46 PM

Stuck between black SO and white SO. please post pictures of your cars so I can get a better idea. I feel like black hides the curves and lines of the car, while white showcases it. But at the same time black looks mean . Which is a look I like.

please post em, any opinion helps .

You have tons of pictures here.

Thank you. I feel as if personal pictures taken by the owner of the car gives me a better look, as opposed to professionally taken ones .That is the reason I asked , instead of hoping on Google or other search engines like I have in recent months.

lpphreakx06 · 03-10-2015, 06:13 PM

Are you wanted AW or MW? I vote for MW

gqambitions · 03-10-2015, 06:23 PM

I am assuming AW is automatic and MW is Manuel. Sorry new to the forum. If so then nahh man AW. smoother for me lol I am 6"6 can not drive that in traffic. lol

lpphreakx06 · 03-10-2015, 06:23 PM

Alpine white or Mineral White ?

Hawaii i8 · 03-10-2015, 06:23 PM

What you need my friend is a little AY in your life! None of this black or white stuff

Blindside_137 · 03-10-2015, 06:30 PM

If white is too bright and black is too dark, go mineral gray. It's that easy

saeba1 · 03-10-2015, 06:38 PM

I agree, MG is a great match with SO interior.

Bonzer103 · 03-10-2015, 06:49 PM

I also like 'automatic' yellow......

Bonzer103 · 03-10-2015, 06:51 PM

And I might mention if AW vs MW doesn't mean anything to you, you may have a lot more research to do on all the available options for this car. Best of luck, you have come to the right place. Lots of great INFO on this site.

Here is some non professional pictures of my BSM/SO the day I picked it up. lighting is bad in the parking garage. I like black cars in general even with the maintenance to keep them clean, I will say though white is nice too and definately shows off the carbon fiber and performance parts contrasts better than BSM.

..wait what?

Ok so....you...but....nevermind.
Get the black one man, and please do read up on this car.
You have a long way to go and you've come to the right place.
AW=Alpine white(not metallic)
MW=Mineral white(metallic)

Black looks dirty next day after you washed it - I owned 2 black cars. You can still get black roof and, hmm, manual with AW cars...

OP: Quick question to you before I answer.

Are you the good guy or a bad guy?

Now on the the real question are you OCD? Will you mind seeing imperfections or swirls? If so stay away from BSM. Sooner it later you will see some of that. However when black is clean it looks good just too much work for me.

Very true. I forgot how much work black cars are. Even drying it can leave streaks. I do love black cars and this one looks sinister black, but I wouldn't buy it personally.

gqambitions · 03-10-2015, 09:07 PM

I like the Alpine white

gqambitions · 03-10-2015, 09:08 PM

haha well played.

gqambitions · 03-10-2015, 09:09 PM

hmm I have never thought about that option. But I just like how the SO looks with the white and black colors.

gqambitions · 03-10-2015, 09:11 PM

Just trying to learn. I am not a professional you know. But I do appreciate the humor lol .

gqambitions · 03-10-2015, 09:12 PM

Yes I have a lot of studying to do. I am aware of the options, just not of the abbreviations used. I hope to learn as much as I can from everyone. Thank you.

gqambitions · 03-10-2015, 09:14 PM

I am aware of the packages. Just not familiar with the abbreviations. I still have a long way to go and I look forward to learning from everyone. That is why I as questions on things I do not understand. But Thank you for your opinion sir.
