I really like them both. I chose fm because it's kinda stealthy looking, while csm is more contrasty. also, I like dark cars for their reflection abilities..it looks sweet with all the different colored flakes, too. I can post pics if u want.

The flint mica has the unique ability to seem blueish in certain lightings . . . and in dark lightings seem almost black . . . but in pure daytime look dark grayish . . . . just throwin' a reason out there.

but then yet, you have a FM....
go with BSP..... it has that glittery effect to in the sun... very beautiful looking... when it's clean that is... but a hard color to keep clean... scratches shows up very easily.

csm is pretty nice as well as the fm.. i like the dark color cause it makes your car look very stealth and as someone pointed out the color kinda changes by day/night so its sorta like a chameleon color! haha def would get the FM if you're into a stealth look.. if not just go with the CSM and slap on a carbon fiber hood ;)

Im torn between the two colors myself.
1. SSM (now CSM) was my original choice. It seemed to match well with the stock wheels, and it just gave the cars lines a certain look. plus, living up in the northeast, i would be driving this in the winter and for those who know, salt/sand spray from the winter roads make your dark cars look like hell. I figured it would be less noticeable with silver.
2. FM. saw it in a lot of pics and it looked "nice". Saw it at the dealers and fell in love with it. like others have said, when the sun hits it 7 different ways, you can get 7 different tones of color from it, ranging from a colorful dark grey to an almost black. with tinted windows and some new wheels, that car would look so smooth and sleak.
Im still deciding, but leaning towards the fm.

IMO... the SSM (CSM 
) is a little more classy. People have done some really nice things to both colors, but I think the silver says it's a little more subtle. The FM can be more stealthy (smoked tails, CF blends well, etc).
