ABM for sure, I was thinking black till I saw this blue up close !!

black is my color of choice. yes its hard to keep clean but it is worth it when it is. I am considering the IBM instead of black. But i will more than likely go with the black.

Here's my input:

Im in the same boat, wasn't really looking at ABM. As someone else said earlier it makes the car lose some aggression. Granted I have yet to even see the car in person so that may make a difference for me in color as well. Black like everyone has said is too hard to keep clean. SIM is great looking but my worry is they will be a dime a dozen and blend it too easily. CGM, I am hoping, seems like it could be the perfect compromise. Now we just need to see one

Victory Red- Higher insurance with red, attracts cops - As far as I'm concerned, this is just an old urban legend. I've owned a red sports car of some sorts for the last 10-15 years (mostly firebirds). I got maybe 1-2 tickets that I can recall of. In the end, it's all about how you drive. Just know where the speed traps are and what roads are watched more than others, and you'll do fine.

RJT- Just not my color, really - Same here

IBM- VERY similar to my current car's color - This is why I didn't go with red. Been there, done that (for about 15 years now)

IOM- Didn't like how it looked red-ish in some pics, not orange enough - Might be close to red, but it will still be different than what I've had befor

Summit White- Gets dirty easily, too dull for me - Never been a white car person myself

Rally Yellow- Again, just not for me - Would have loved this one if it was not so bright. I like it, but I couldn't live with it I think

Hope this helps. This is how I chose my color.
