Default Silver or Black

Specs submitted to my dealer for a November build was black with WP. I chose black to lessen contrast of the WP hood and roof, and blends well with Aurum wheels. Now, silver is growing on me, albeit with satin platinum wheels...thoughts?

I went with GT Silver and the Satin Black rims, started with the satin platinum wheels but I feel with all the black accents on the exterior the Satin Black rims were a better match. Headlight Cleaning System Covers in Exterior Color as well, wish they had a delete for those 2 warts. I also feel GT Silver shows off the lines on this car much more than Black. You can't go wrong with either color, it's a personal preference thing.

did you go with WP? other than black, silver is the only other color i would consider with a black hood and roof. without WP, I would have gone with either white or chalk.

I would go black with gold rims and I like the yellow or green interior/stitching. That was the way I was gong to go before PTS became available.

Black is the only way to make a WP RS look anything other than screaming loud. I mean, even in black it is still not subtle by any means, but every other color makes it stand out.

Yes, I am doing WP. GT Silver is the only color that works for me with the WP. Agreed, without WP I would go with White. Black, a must to PPF entire car.

With that build the Black looks just awesome. Standard Red Brakes might even look better with the gold wheels!

I love silver and gold as you can see with my gt4. But I’m not a fan of black hood on anything but a black car. So one more vote for black.
