Do not get a Super White unless you can keep it garaged and put some type of bra or paint protection on it..

Not to mention the fact that it looks plain, and vanilla and generic.. and cheap as well.. completely forgettable..

I loathe mine..

Yeeeeeeah rrrrrrright...

First of all, this is all a matter of opinion, but here's mine...

Anyways, these are the 2 colors I was battling with, but I didn't battle long. I settled for nothing BUT the white. Waited 3 weeks to get a white one. White does not show dirt/salt and scratches as badly as a dark color does. And I just think it looks better on the car, and is a bit more original than the FM. I have yet to see another white tC on the road around here. Also, when it's clean and in the sun, you literally need a pair of sunglasses to look at it! It's the brightest white, and I love it! That's another reason I went for it.

Simply put, I went with the white because I liked the look the best, and thought it would be easier to take care of than a darker color. The FM is great looking though.

Get whatever floats yer boat!

Super white was my 1st choice, but after waiting 7 weeks I settled for an indigo.

my normal color is orange but it attracts the po-po. flint is classier. bcp showes the dirt more but looks so good in the city. I like the panda look too.

anyway back on topic,

FM is my choice of the two. you won't see it on too many others models of cars. as to where white comes on EVERY car. all the colors look nice IMO, but AP, BSP, and FM are my faves.

have you seen the FM in person? if not go to a lexus dealer to check it out on an rx.

The flint mica is a cool color, but to me, personally, the super white has so many more options as far as wheels, you can put almost any color/type of wheel on a super white whereas the flint mica is going to give you a little less options. I personally love my super white, at night under floresent lights it has a pearl white quality, and the black roof stands out so nicely against it, really brings the roof out... I am glad most people dont "like" it, less people to buy it and cop my style ;)

anyway, someone said they thought it was "vanilla" or plain...


you really think??




maybe im just biased
