Black now or Silver later?

Hey, just joined, this is my first post here.

I've decided to buy a Ralliart because I like the stylying, Im not planning on taking any trips to a race-track so I don't need Evo power, and SST is great for the hellish traffic I have to endure back and forth from work (it still gives me some fun on open roads too). Anyway, I have a choice. I can pick up the car now in Black, or I can wait up to six weeks for the car to arrive in Silver.

Obviously Im not looking for anyone to make the decision for me, because ultimately I'll be the one that has to live with the car in my drive-way, but Im just looking for opinions. Also, if you think the car looks better in a different color other than Silver or Black, let me know (and hopefully post a pic).

BTW, my forum alias has no relation to the color. It's shorthand for my favorite song. I don't have any attachment to the color silver outside of the fact that I think cars look great in it.

Thanks!

I like black. But silver is easier to keep clean. Both kinda tough. Good luck!

Silver looks classier to me. The black makes it look like a GTS a bit too much.

I personally think the Graphite Gray is the best.

the problem with silver is everyone has it. you look on the road and i swear 35-40% of the cars are silver. it's too generic now.

I would say the White & Graphite Grey are the best colors on the RA. As far as black or silver, I like the silver paint better. I just don't like this particular black on the RA... I'm usually a huge fan of black cars, but this black is just alright.

Graphite Grey is also an option. I could get one in that color next week, apparently. Does anyone have a picture of the car in that color? Any other votes for that color?

Black is very hard to maintain especially the swirls
