Which color STi should I get?

Hey Guys and Gals (well...the few who are crazy enough to stay here lol),

I was originally going to go with an STi swap in my bugeye, but I figure that I might as well just go out and buy an STi.

My buddy is going to be buying my MBP Bugeye (hopefully) and my biggest dilemma here is figuring out which color I want to go for.

I don't want WRB, I'm stuck between a White (either white), one of the Black colors, or UGM.

Let me know what you guys think in the poll!

Kevin

Either white or black... considering your current ride is black... go for white (if you can find one)

I'd have to say white. It looks great, won't attract as much attention as brighter colors, won't get as hot as darker colors, and goes well with lots of the common colors on aftermarket wheels and parts. I like white even more than the silver of my '05 and would've gotten white if possible.

I've thought about swapping a bugeye as well and thought it over and it would be about the same costs (including buying a car) to swap as it would be to buy an sti. Needless to say I said F-it and plan on just getting an STi in either PSM, CGM, UGM. I'm tired of blue (I've had 2 RS's in blue), I don't want black or white to keep clean so that leaves me with silver

That's my other issue, I'm basically sure I'm not having another black car (the STi would be my third black car...such a pain to keep clean).

I love the UGM color with black rims, but white is also pretty nice. The car will be in a garage with a cover over it when I'm not driving it so I'm not too worried about dirt (unless I drive in the rain and whatnot.)

It's just hard to find a good condition 06-07 in the silver colors that have lower mileage =(

I love the UGM. Get rid of the STi wing and get the S204 wing and I'd be in business!
