Smile Help me decide on a color!



or



Only issues I really have with the Black is having to wash it more, the red pin striping on the leather and having to remove the grey decal. Only issue I have with the Silver is that damn that black looks sharp.

FYI, The Black is with the appearance package (only way I was able to build with the Black wheels, which also has a slightly different type of side steps) and the Silver is without the appearance package with the Silver matching wheels and the only other type of side steps.

That black will only look sharp for a day or two after you spend hours washing it. Go silver.

I've had black and keeping it clean is impossible, since i live down a gravel road which gets muddy at times.
Silver is my choice. Hides dirt much better, is cooler in the summer and looks sharp.

cant beat a black vehicle. Ive had plenty. If it were between black and silver, black anyday. Now black and other colors, I would look elsewhere. Depending on your weather if you get snow and have salted roads it can be a pain. But if not, Black if you keep up with it can be alright. I have a black camaro and that things is 2 years old and has probably 4 coats of wax. Everytime I wash it I use Ice. Between the ice and wax the car is actually pretty good against rain.

Had 2 black vehicles myself. Like said above, looks good for about a day after u wash it. If you've got OCD like I do I'd go with Silver. Good luck in your choice.

Silver! I love the look of the silver fx4's with those 20's! If I could afford it, the silver one you have up is the one I would have...

I say go gray. It splits the difference between the two, and really looks sharp when it's all cleaned up. It doesn't show dirt too bad either. My last truck was dark shadow gray, and I was a bit iffy on it when I bought it, but after I washed it and gave it a good waxing, it really popped, and I loved it!

There is a Silver one with the exact specs at a dealership 8 miles from my work. Yikes. I hate buying new cars. I really don't want to pay over invoice for this thing but not sure of my chances hehe.

There is no grey decal on the black appearance package FX4. It is black, but with a carbon fiber type of look. It is not that noticeable, but looks absolutely fantastic. The striping on any other color IMO looks gaudy... and as seen in my gallery, I love graphics.
