Ironically, I really wanted white at first. But after seeing that most people want the white, and having seen it in person several times, I felt the white hid the lines and creases too much. I love how clean the silver stays or appears too, and how stealthy it is when desired. I had a 91 300ZX TT and that car aged extremely well compared to the other colors it was offered in.

I was debating with my close friends about these two colours. 5/6 go for white and only one agree with me on silver. Their common argument point is silver is too common on the road.

Its true a lot of people in my area order white and it seems like they are going to be everywhere.

please post more pictures, I want to see more of fr-s in silver.

silver vs. white

I have the whiteout. I really liked the silver as well, but my last 2 cars were silver, and now my girlfriend's Rogue is also silver, so it just wouldn't do. I think the white really shows off the lines of the car much better than anything else, except possibly the silver. Plus, I've always wanted a white car, but was always talked out of it. I'm 46 years old now, and I guess this is my mid-life crisis car. Picked it up yesterday.. LOVE it. Getting the windows tinted next week. Mud guards should be here tomorrow, and also going to install an old school Punch amp, and a small subwoofer in the trunk.

The car is pretty in white, The only color that offends me is the Hot Lava. But that is personal opinion. I missed the silver, but if I had several silver cars I could see getting bored.

I agree, originally I was set on white as well. But seeing the silver and how it brings out the body lines, I couldn't pass it up.

I didn't have a color in mind but when I saw an Argento in person I was Just Stunned.
I saw a few others and I thought niice/wow; Stunned was new haha - this was after I saw other colors haha.

Picked her up last night! Before moving it an inch I installed a 1/3rd length antenna. I will post more pics and install some of the minor things I have had waiting for the car shortly. Totally stoked!
