Three step process to solve your problem
1.Buy what color you want. White In my opinion would look classic, like a late 60's Camaro.
2. Go tell your buddys to "go **** up a rope"
3.Enjoy car

White or silver, imo. White has that classic look like some have said, but silver isnt seen as often and depending on the interior color and other colors already on the car, silver would be cool

I have not seen it in white.

White - classic

Silver - modern

I'll toss in another color: Charcoal Grey?

My personal opinion is white, but I am a little biased as I like the classic look and have white stripes already. But the guys above are right, its your car, you get what you want and what you like.

"**** up a rope" I like that. pretty funny PSU Engineer.
