I bought AS because I live in an Apartment with no easy access to a car wash. Black or any other dark color would be brutal.

That's after probably about an hour and a half self hand wash at most, but I do get your point. With all the salt on the roads, it looks like butthole casserole right now. But what car doesn't when there is snow on the roads?

Good point man, we dont even have snow here but I think they put salt or something all over the interstates, I took 65 to school the other day while it was raining and my car is covered in some kind of white looking ****? It looks horrrrrible. Almost like dust. Thank god Im going to a buddies to wash it tomorrow and installing my Swift springs.

It's brine on your car. With snow or the threat-of, they are spraying it all over everything.

I would like to come down, but the kids keep my wife and I way too busy for fun stuff lately. Maybe when they get a little older I'll have more freedom.

Which is nearly impossible if you live in areas that get rain or snow on a regular basis.

Apex Silver FTW! I do like to keep my car clean, but with the silver I have the option to be lazy and not wash it for weeks on end
Also, I like how the front grill is more pronounced...on PB, you can't really see it

I'm sorry, the Phantom Black looks like a bass boat. There's too much going on with metal flake or something in that paint. If it was straight BLACK, then... black is the best (well, when it's clean) - accept that reality. But Phantom Black didn't do it for me.

I saw the Phantom Black, Graphite Gray, and Arctic Silver parked side-by-side-by-side and Graphite Gray was best in my eye. The Arctic Silver was a close second, but too much of the black trim (grill, fog surrounds, wing base, mirror trim and diffuser - not to mention fender and hood vents if you have a GSR) made the contrast unappealing. The same trim on the Graphite Gray is quite complimentary. That said, a stark contrast like Wicked White is nice too, but not so much on the Apex Silver.

Of course, that's just an opinion. And opinions are like... well, y'know... everyone has one and they all stink.

Color is personal. You're the one that has to walk out to car and look at it several times a day, eh? Stop being a limp-wrister and make up your own mind.

Silver if you don't like washing your car everyday. Black looks awesome but keeping it clean and free of swirl marks will drive you nuts
