Default White or GT Silver

Hi,
I am so stuck between making this color decision for my GT build? Any thoughts and even more photos would be greatly appreciated.

I think your username is subconsciously telling you what to pick....

GT Silver looks expensive but understated, and can look 'dull' in some lighting. White is more racey, and looks nice on the GT4, not plain, because the body of the car has enough surface complexity to make the white work. My wife picked GT Silver for her GT4, but I'd go with white for both aesthetics and cost savings.

Very simple. Both colors like great. GT Silver the conservative approach and White the more racey - and if you decide to put stripes on ect better with white as your canvas

Jimmy, keep it hush hush in the GT4 section, but I've been driving the GT3 on the road lately and really enjoying the car - the power, sound, PDK, and overall taughtness of the car are something special. Just wanted to make your GT3 vs GT4 decision more difficult.

I'd go white only for Carrara. I like the cool blue undertone and metallic look better than the flat slight yellow regular white.

I know you like screwing with my head. I will be driving the GT4 on Sunday. I will let you know on Monday if I will be grabbing a GT4.

These cars screw with my head, I just pass along the confusion.

Hopefully it's a GT4 that's broken in. Don't make the same mistake as me and baby the car too much - best to try a range of speeds. Also be sure to try it with and without auto-blip, and also try both damper settings. And of course, ideal if you can try it back to back with your GT3.

Both are boring IMHO. Get a red or yellow

GT Silver. Not a fan of white on this car. Think it has to do with the wheels, because I love it on some other cars, but it just doesn't work for me on this car. I've already seen three white GT4s in person and didn't like the look.
