Default Impossible color choice!

Seriously... white? or silver? I'm stuck between those two colors. Yes I've looked at all of the threads and it's still impossible. Ive had people tell me white is a chick color and in my opinion silver is a boring color. I won't leave the car stock definitely black rims and lowered with tinted windows and stickers. What color is "better" ?

That's the white I had in mind. how it will look
and this is the silver I had in mind

Black is better lol j/k I can't tell you what to like but I'd go silver white gets dirty fast just like black does but it's ultimately up to you! Do you like the high voltage rs7?

The white tC looks nothing like a chix when modded. Same for the silver tC, it looks boring only if its stock. Slap a CF hood and it looks aggressive like in the pic. I would personally go wit the white because u can throw any color combo into it and It'll pull it off nicely

I got a black TC2 and some days I wish I had a white one.

Carbon fiber hood + black rims would look amazing and the black glass roof makes it look even better.

I had a silver honda before and I wouldn't get a silver car again. Cement color is sick though. My top 3 for the TC2 is Black/White/Cement

as stock

white - classy/clean
black - sexy/mean
silver - safe option to moderately appeal to everyone

I'm pretty partial to white cars. My last car was white and I loved it. White doesn't get dirty like black cars either. Only time the car gets noticeably dirty is in the winter time with all the slush splashing all over the car. Other than that white cars stay way cleaner than a black car!

White is best when clean, silver rest of the time. For those saying black don't. The paint on the scion is so thin that every scratch does to the primer. Take it from someone who has a black cherry 08 and knows.

SuperWhite makes the OEM gunmetal 18s pop.

I just don't get the color choices for the tC.

White - Grey(silver) - Grey(cement) - Grey(Magnetic) - Black

Oh and we have leftover BCP from the xB1, and some weird Navy...

Glad I went with SW, even 2 weeks from the last car wash and it still looks hot.

If I could do it again, I would get white. I love my grey, but the white looks amazing with the black roof and interior.

white looks "moded" easier cuz you can put decals on it and vinyl wrap the bumper and black hood....

this is my first black car and as much of a pain in the ___ it is to keep clean, my next car will be black too. plus most luxury car makers actually spend more then 50 cents on a paint job

I'm going through the same dilemma, except I don't know if I want white or RS7. I like the black/yellow, push button start, black wheels, body kit on the RS7 but I'm partial to white cars. I'm not a "modder", so I keep thinking the RS7 comes with some nice basic stuff. I've never had a yellow car before, is it harder to maintain?

^^^if its black/yellow combo if you go for rs7 be prepared for the 'short bus' and 'taxi' car jokes that come with yellow cars
