How does it look like? better than the Ingot Silver Metallic?
Will white get as dirty as the BLACK as some posts suggested?
Thanks buddy,
Be safe.

The white is beautiful in person. If I didn't get black I would have definitely gotten white. Infact, if they had had both black and white on the lot when I bought my black one, I might have ended up with the white.

My Stang is a daily driver and very challenging to keep clean. The water spots are a pain!!! I would have gone with the Red Candy, if I had the option. My other choices would be the grabber orange or the vista blue. =-)
My wife has a silver VW Passat and it definitely hides the dirt well. I wash my car 3 times compared to her 1!! LOL
Good luck w/ your choice!

Screaming yellow.. but then that color is in retirement right now. White is a good choice, but it can get boring after some years or maybe it was me having a white car for 11 years that I did not want another white car. White is easy to keep clean and imperfections do not show much either. Most previous year models for the CS I've seen were white if you're looking for something more unique.

Black FTL

I will never get another black car again. The only time it's clean is right after a wash or right after I use the californey duster on there and go for a drive. As soon as I get home from a drive it's dirty again and needs to be gone over with the duster and/or detailer and a MF towel.

I frickin hate it. Oh and for the love of God don't get me started on the swirl marks. This car seems to generate them on it's own somehow. Terrible.

I have a silver metallic '08. That's a very light silver. The car looks fantastic when I've just waxed it. I get nothing but compliments when people when they see the car in person. However, I've also found that it is really hard to photograph it well because the highlights are so subtle. I would never pick that color from a brochure but it looks great in person. In terms of safety, I also like having a car with good contrast from the road. Dark grey and black cars don't stand out enough. I will say that silver cars can look too monotone without stripes or something similar to break up tone. I have a black convertible top and rear blackout panel that I think help a lot.
