Default Torn over color!

I narrowed it down to grey/rioja red or white/red. Currently I have a G37 coupe in white. Both look great. The grey does a better job of hiding the fake vents on the rear bumper. I think I'd jump on the UW if the rear bumper was like the RCF without the fake vents.

I ruled out the silver lining and atomic silver (too much of a champagne tint), so only these two remain!

Any advice or suggestions? Does the grey show swirl marks easily? Thanks!

Nebula grey/red is one of my favorite combos. I think many people have gotten UW too, so you'll be a little more unique.

Google the Varis RCF... I believe that might settle the decision for you..

Thanks for the replies! I'm going to the dealer this afternoon at three. I think I may get the grey without the spoiler. Although I was inclined to have the spoiler, the more I see it without one the more I like it.

Nebula looks really good and shows off the lines of the car. Definitely go with the red interior. I doubt you have to worry about swirls with gray. Good luck

Alright ... so I had my mind settled on grey but went with the white / red interior. Staring at both on the lot and my eye kept going to the white. It was dirty and looked clean. The grey looked awesome too until I caught it in the shade. That wasn't a big deal but then one of the owners had rolled up in a grey that was a tad dirty and the color just looked blah.

Has everything except the ML and illuminated door sills. Also has the spoiler, which I'm not too crazy about but it works.

Thanks for your suggestions. Hopefully picking it up on Wednesday!

The atomic grey is pretty nice, but I'm a big fan of the Infrared, which is spectacular, if you are man enough to make a bold fashion statement. What bothers me is your comment that you are expecting swirl marks. You need to learn how to wash the car correctly and protect the paint - you might want to spend some time on the autopia forum, and perhaps look into having Opticoat applied. I had a black SC for 14 years and no swirl marks - no automatic car washes either, and I think the two are related.

I know how to take care of it. It's a known fact that some colors readily show swirls as do the darker colors. Thanks for all of you replies. I just saw a nebula grey in the road yesterday and glad I went with the white.
