Ok...so it appears that some of you guys were right about the car color being Glacier Frost Mica :P. I don't really know what the color does look like under direct sunlight, and my dad just discovered that the vehicle we are purchasing is in fact that color. Now, my dad wanted Starfire/Crystal White Pearl, and he is not too happy that it is NOT that color. Would anybody be kind enough to show us a picture of what Glacier Frost Mica does look like truly, as the resolution of the dealer pictures weren't the greatest, and were under artificial light. Our purchase of this vehicle now depends on this color.

 

Here are the pictures from before...

It really depends on the lighting.

lol...it really does all depend on the lighting doesn't it. Sometimes it looks like Tungsten Silver almost, and sometimes like a pearl white, although I wonder if it only looks like a pearl white because of the flash. Anyone have even more pictures to help me out?

 

It has a blue pearl color in person. Looks really nasty in person under a cloudy day. Great in sunlight because it looks literately white.

 

Thats what I think when you say Glacier frost. yuck.

 

Well...it doesn't matter anymore now. My dad was under the impression it was Crystal White Pearl/ Starfire Pearl. Soo... we opted outta that deal. We looked at some more pictures, and from a brochure which has a palate of each exterior color, when looking at GFM without a glare, it looked grey, and with it was a pearl light blue. Anyways, we are now looking at an 07' IS250 AWD, Starfire White. So GFM is out the door. No offense to anyone by the way that owns a car with this color. I would have to see this color in real life to truly be able to judge it, but we were looking for a car that was Crystal White in the first place. And from that link I gave, I guess you can see how you can be fooled. Not everyone tho apparently, since quite a few people mentioned that it looked like GFM. Thanks to all who pointed it out. My pops would not be a happy camper flying out to Kentucky all the way from Ontario to buy a car which wasn't the color he thought he was getting. :P

 

Thanks for trashing my pics and my car

Sorry!!!! I should have PM'd you to use it. Nice pictures BTW.

 

Nasty...yucky....never heard of anyone feeling so negatively about GFM. That's cool. The more people don't like it the more it will become exclusive.

 

The Crystal White/Starfire Pearl owners are just jealous they got this simple regular color that every other car has. muahahahaha

 

"Fo-sho" What type of camara ? nice shots

 

I've said this before - a picture of Glacier Frost Mica is useless unless you have Crystal White/Starfire Pearl next to it for comparison purposes. Cameras tend to "correct" the hue and white balance to the point where you can't see a difference unless they're in the same picture:

Hope this helps!

Wow huge help! That picture is definately what I needed. Although we are still looking for a different IS now...a CW one... :P

 

I love white on GS, but I have no idea why I don't like it on the IS, something is just wrong when I see the rear. well, that's just me, my opinion.

but modded white cars look good though
