you know what they say "black is beautiful".....I would love to have mine in black, but I would have to shell out some major cash cause I would want one of those mirror black finishes like on show cars......

The sport 20 looks very good in white, possibly even beter then in black.

BUt black always looks good! Nothing gets a nicer shine then black

nothing shows dirt better also. I've got a black car but in a state where there is mud everywhere black or white are not good colors. Mine is always dirty.

ya dude its a badass color..not too dark; not too light; just right, and also its not a white color so u shouldnt hav to wash ur car like a million times. Anyhow let me know how everything goes. Im starting my car in like two weeks after i do all of the body job work; caz i hav lots of dents..then i should be able to put some primer on. Good luck man

I'm waitin' to see those pics.

I still have alot of time to consider the color because I'll be doin' it sometime in June maybe.

But I think black is out. I love how black cars look, but the maintennance (as I have been told by many) is a bitch!

I know you said black is out and here is another reason why it should be. On some cars it doesn't show the curve well. When I was looking for a P5 I wanted black or silver. The dealer got silver in and I loved it, the way it showed off the bumper and fenders. Every time I see a black one it doesn't even look like P5 to me. So go with something brighter like the "Skyline silver".
