PITA to keep clean. If you like having a clean car, plan on washing it at the very least every other week.

No doubt!!

Black is the best looking of all the available colors. Just make sure that you always hand wax, never use a buffer and you won't have problems with swirls. I wash mine once a week at least and wax every month and I have been more than happy with my paint. I just hope you enjoy the work to keep it looking great.

just put it this way. I wash and waxed my car saturday.. and monday, it was already dirty.

my second choice would be white. white always look clean.

and yes, our paint is dirt cheap. really, really soft... scratches easily and pitfa to get water spots off.. especially on black.

i wouldn't get any other color though. its the price you have to pay for a nice and classy color.

black owns everything...but, you have to think what type of exterior mods you are planning on doing. A bodykit is not shown nearly as much on a black car.

But IMO black is the sexiest of all colors on the G...in the universe

I also have a OB coupe and when its clean it definetly turns heads!! Chicks dig it for sure. But you have to work hard at it!!VERY HARD!! You could always put that heat resistant tint on the windows to help your a$$ from getting burned then go over it with regular tint for max protection. Just really expensive for tint

Already owned a Black Coupe..... now I have a IP Coupe, no regrets whatsoever. If I had to do it all over again, I would have gotten the IP from the start.

If you keep your car as clean as I do. Then you'll learn how to appreciate black. I've been told a million times my car is cleaner than a brand new 2007. (Note: My coupe is a 2005) You be the judge. Here's a pic that was shot 2 days ago:
