GFM, its so unique under certain lighting, gives the car an extra appeal. its beautiful under the sunset.

My vote goes to starfire..

GFM looks kind of like when they were painting the car they got some silver color overspray all over it. Or a layer of dust is always on the car..it just looks kinda grimy to me..

Starfire however is a nice gleaming white and in the direct sunlight it shows multiple colors in its pearl. It doesn't look silver at times or even blue like GFM does..

The only thing GFM has over Starfire is that when GFM gets dirty..it's a bit harder to tell cause it naturally looks like it's got dirt on it already. So I mean..there's a plus.

Again, won't hear that from GFM owners. In fact, you get the opposite

STARFIRE PEARL FTW!! GFM looks kinda funky in the sunset. Some people call you retarded when you tell them your car is white when in the sun it's another. In other words Starfire Pearl GFM
