i see that color being more on a family honda 4 door accord =/. i know i'd get tired of that color.

i strongly agree with boost addict.

VERY SICK... nice choice man...

Its clean and low key enough not to be picked out as a "young ricer"... But enthusiasts will stare at your wheels and give you thumbs up all day... It's incredible how black w/machined rims are still not very populated to date... Leaves them looking puzzled and impressed, or should I say Imprezzed?

Oh, and who cares if it needs more TLC more often? When you shine her up, she looks like black mirrored glass... Gorgeous... absolutely gorgeous... Things worth having require harder work, goes with life and with black cars!

Goodluck with your project man!

have you ever owned one of each (both black and white)? i have.

white -- clean, rarey looks dirty, COOLER IN THE SUN, and doesn't easily reveal swirl marks

black -- nightmare in the sun, nightmare to keep clean, nightmare when it comes to swirl marks, but it does look classy

anyhow, you know what i voted for.

black is less noticeable which means less attention from the people in cars that are black and white.

Thumbs up My decision<---White!

a friend of mine has a black 05 suby and he wished he wouldnt have gotten black. just a couple months of having the spankin new car, he already sees rock debris marks and scratches and easily shown key marks (showing up white). he also said that cleaning it is such a b*tch and hassle b/c it gets dirty in just a few days, but looks VERY NICE when washed, but of course still easily showing the debris marks, paint chirps, key marks, scratches. thenx for those who have posted their opinions on my thread, and i take all these into consideration----> leaning towards white =]. i figured it would look good with the wheels i have anyways (rota downshift royal black w/ lip). i also figured i might be tired of havin black, considering maybe adding a carbon fiber hood, it wouldnt show up that much, but having white would most def show n' give tha car more character. anyways. nothing against black subies!

Get white! I had black WRX, it was really difficult to keep it clean and shiny. Now I've got white STI and I love it. Get white...
