Lightbulb Pearl White or Gun Metallic?

Once again, I am torn between the two beautiful colors. I've been debating for months now and can't seem to come to a conclusion. I have gone to the dealership countless times to view them in person but cannot settle on a color. Although the engine mods would be the same for either colors, I have great ideas in terms of cosmetic mods for both colors.

Pearl White: Black rooftop, black rims with red calipers, tinted windows with red side-mirrors, black fangs with an either black or carbon fiber lip, the inside of my headlights done in black, and dim my taillights as well.

Gun Metallic: Black rims with red calipers, tinted windows, and maybe a few other very minor mods (color of spoiler, doorhandles, etc.) (Feel free to suggest ideas)

And suggestions?

Thank you!

A) I see 500 times more PWs than GM, so I'm over PW

B) Red calipers on GM... Eh... Not sure I like that idea

I see a lot of both.

I'd go GM if I had to choose between the two. Black accents (handles, rims, or even the roof) would blend well, yet still be subtle.

It's funny, in Dallas at the meets, a billion blues, decent amount of PWs
In CA at the meets, 20 whites, 1 blue, 1 yellow, 1 GM, 1 black (maybe)

Texas is a blue state....heheheheheh

There's a reason why PW is popular. It really is an easy color to deal with and nice to look at. The kumbaya of colors.

You're almost as bad as me when it comes to not sleeping


OP, if you want PW, do it like axmea? His PW is one I couldn't get tired of
forza370z and axmea? like this.

That's all that's out here: PW, GM, and Black.

I've seen one red, two MR, and my MdB.

Haven't seen the old blue other than Nissan showing it off at Westgate.

Had an 09 in PW, sold it for a 13 in GM. Never looked back for a second.

The bad news is if you end up with a PW you will think GM is better. But if you get a GM you will regret why you didn't get a PW in the first place.

Both colors are pretty sweet and I'd take either one. Any damage or dirt will show up on the white pretty easy, though.
