GFM FTW!!!

I think it gives the car an added flair. No hate for the starfire pearl or crystal white. But the slight hint of blue that appears on a bright sunny day makes the Glacier Frost so nice. I love mine. When I first saw the color I knew I had to have it. Tinted out and with red out overlays. My Glacier Frost is pimpin. =)

Oh nose, you've opened this pandora's box again.

GFM is a far more intriguing and deeper color, imo. Starfire is just white. GFM adds a whole new dimension.

Starfire is a very elegant color - very classy. However, Glacier Frost is more of an exotic color, and much more rare (unless you live in Hawaii or Japan). Trust me, you won't be disappointed. It never ceases to amaze me how many comments I get from random "non car" people about the paint, not the car itself. Just to give you an idea of he popularity of his color, take a look at the number of threads dedicated to it:

There are plenty of others, but I'm sure you get the idea...

As others have advised, it's best to see the paint yourself, preferably next to a starfire car. The good news is that, either way, you can't go wrong.

obviously i'm completely biased but I think the GFM is definitely the way to go. i love the crystal (i would say it's closest to true white) and starfire (pearly and still very white) but you see these colors on all the cars. glacier is definitely different (pearly white with light blue undertone that sometimes look silvery) and there's a better chance that you won't get sick of the color right away since it always looks a little different in different lighting situations. plus, it's harder to find which is nice, you won't see to many of them driving around
