Default Decisions decisions....

hello everyone, As I'm getting closer to my build date Its getting tougher to decide on a color Was set on White/Black wheels.. But now after seeing how beautiful guards red looks I am having a tough time deciding.What are your guys opinions? Does anyone have photos of a guards car with the black wheels?

Thanks guys

No right or wrong answer. I chose red. So did Mike. Macca chose white. Same with Sam. The overwhelmingly most popular color is white. Call me a heretic.

There's a fella on this board who owns a company named plastidip. He's been pimpin his products for months now. Supposedly a cheap way to make stock wheels black, that way you can choose the finish according to your mood.

Go to the new car picture thread in this forum and click on page three. Both white and GR are shown. The GR picture is out of this world. Great camera work.

I have a white car with LEDs but if I am to start over, I would chose what I initially thought of: black with black wheels and black PDLS. Menacing as hell.

I was also Basalt and switched to white last-minute.

Of the colours less selected ...was surprised at how well dark blue metallic fits the GT3..

Sighted such at the guildford (uk) OPC last week.

Don't settle or play safe. Go with the color you really want, whatever that might be. Fewer regrets that way....

I love my red, BTW.

Make the decision based on which color you like best, not which color you fear the most. :-)

I can't decide on color, originally I thought white was a no brainer. Now I am thinking GT Silver... Decision, decisions...

THiS! +1

If I had the money for a new GT3, I'd spend the extra $ for the color I really want. White, black, grey, there is a reason they are everywhere. They're nice. Boring, but nice. Red has a nice pop though.
