anyone have an IP coupe w/ tints on?

i plan on getting tints right when i get the car.

can you posts pics and opinions on which color is better.

How much time are you willing to spend keeping your car looking sharp and clean?

I'm with you. This was my first and last black car. Black cars look awesome for about an hour after a wash. Also lets not forget about the small scratches that are apparent on all the black cars.

Here's a downside to white that most people don't realize until they own one or have looked at them for a while - anytime a seam between two body pieces doesn't line up perfectly (such as a thin gap between the pieces) it is exaggerated by white because the gap is black. Also anytime you need to repaint a piece, white is the hardest color to match properly. Even brand new white cars often look like the paint doesn't quite match right from certain angles between a plastic bumper piece and a metal body panel. Very tricky color, but certainly sexy.

Keep an eye out for those two things (gaps and paint matching) when you look at pics of white cars. Gaps in any pics, paint matching especially in direct sunlight.

If your buying, black because it will keep its value more than white

Really?? Wow, I didn't know that.

Anyhow, white is definitely a nice color but I chose black for the reasons that have been mentioned already. When it's clean in the daytime, it's freaking nice. At night, it's just ........ can't find words to describe it .

This is Very Very True... Especially when your working with pearl in the paint...

I just ordered my fully loaded IP x sedan two days ago. I went through about a month of back and forth between IP and black. My conclusions... 1. Black looks much better in pictures. 2. IP has a certain class to it (and since I got a sedan its a different body style, less sports car looking). 3. I plan on keeping the car for a very long time and I have seen some black G's with horrible swirl marks all over it. (most likely owner neglect).

So even though my Lexus RX300 coach is also pearl white.. i figured wth and went with IP anyway.

The black coupes look better than the black sedans, but I think the IP sedan is better than the IP coupe.. IMO

Either way.. you win

Yea i was in the same problem. I ended up going with black on my 06 6mt since IP wasn't available to me with the option i was looking for. Black is sick but what is really nice.

Sorry guys, black is hands down the best looking color for the G35 :P It is a pain to keep clean though, I wash mine twice a week - the best time is after you hand wax it....
