If you get a white ISF, go with the white door sills. Otherwise, I think the blue looks fine.

I agree with montgb. White for a white F and blue for all the other colors to match the gauges

I tried to convince Phat Monkey that he should get the blue's to go with the 'F' theme (especially since his F is USB!), but he went white... I like the blue sills on all the F's, even if it is white, since there is an abundance of blue throughout the interior. The only exception in my book is the Neiman Marcus edition - that car NEEDS the whites.

That'd be my choice too.

Kinda cool up here, tho, driving around with the door open to show it off.

Was the illuminated door sills an option for the F?

Get one of each. Blue and white. So when you get tired of the blues, you can go with the whites, or have one of each on!

I love my white ones, as they match the puddle light, the door signal light and the interior light (all upgraded to LED, for sure)...

I think the white one looks sick.....but it really depends on what your car color is.

Actually, color is not the only difference between the white and blue. The White ones have a 3-d effect which makes the letters look like they are floating. Much cooler IMO.
