the pearl paint isn't as...bare, if i am using the correct terminology. bugs won't show as bad, swirls def won't show, but you can't see swirls on any white unless the paint is fucked. (well you can, but not as easily as black duh). i'd rather have a pearl white than plain white. plain white discolors more, is actually harder to match because of so many different tones (too white, too yellowy), i've seen my friend's sti get partly repainted and the shop messed up the white.

i have a whiteout fr-s inbound to me this week finally. :) i couldn't even buy a new one from my own toyota dealer (that my father owns). so i went to auction and found one with 800 miles for MSRP pretty much with clear bra on the entire front. excited.

I already had a body shop visit for a rock damage and no one can tell or can find the repair, fwiw, he said matching black and white is easier than most other colors
