Thanks saoLin413!
With all the sedans that have come out over the last year on here, it's hard to keep up with them all and harder to say I'd be the nicest. I have a few favs of my own I would consider to be nicer than my old ride
I do love white and it will be hard to pull away from it if I do but I do want to consider other options.
Since I posted this thread, I found out that my wife and I are expecting another child...so any mods beyond $50 a month are put on hold indefinately.....for now
I might be IP for at least another year or longer now

Stop? never. Its just a small delay towards a more well-thought-of mods On the other hand, Im sure you will get more approval for camera equipments stuff, or at least thats what happened to me hahaha. I vote for GT5/Forza 3 for deciding on colors

Congrats!
If you do end up painting it later on down the road, I would steer clear of Battlestar Galactica... wait, wrong BSG... I have always really liked your car because it's white, and whenever I've showed pics of it to my friends to get ideas about mine, they ALWAYS comment on how amazingly clean your car looks. Like many have said, Battleship Gray, is just toooo plain. I know you're not looking to stick out like crazy, but Gray will never have that 'pop' factor.
I am really digging the slightly satin white though, it's even cleaner than IP, and if you can add a little pearl to it without making it too glossy or yellowish, it would look so very amazing.
Also fond of the matte sliver:
And the burnt orange:
Still, by far, I like the Satin Lambo White + Pearl idea the best.

Or white with a subtle red pearl? 
Thanks guys!
Chris...I like that color on that beemer!
I know exactly what you mean nfsp1. White is what originally attracted me so much to the G. I didn't want any other color, it was white or nothing
Now I need to check out that porsche video

That is a sick color! Funny you mention it. I was considering painting up an OEM grille and set of bezels with a light light grey. I'd probably say one shade darker than this Porche color to see how it would look against the white. Nice find! I'll definately consider this. Will have to go check it out in person.
