the charcoal grey is sick!!!!!!!!!
my friends crx goes in this month for that color.

If you hate washing it, (like me) don't get anything close to black! i am so sick of washing my cl and it's dirty the next day. Maybe a silver or pearl white too.IMO

And if you have a bad temper, don't pick any dark colors. I get mad at whoever is around me if I see a new chip or scratch.

i like both ideas so far. the is300 gray is nice and won't get dirty too quick, but if it were me i'd get the blue but a little darker maybe - white is good i think our car is one of a few that looks good in white

Have you seen the Monte Carlo blue? That color, but a little darker would look tight as shit.

i dont like blue at all...

just my honest opinion

go for a dark charcoal

i like dark brown with lots of clearcoats

if u got some other colors besides blue that u like..

look in like MSPAINT or PHOTOSHOP

the color swatches just go to the edge nearest to black

I like the IS 300 blue, but a little darker, I want a dark color, not a light color... If I was gonna go gray I'd prolly go with benz' gray, maybe is300, not sure.. Right now just leaning more towards darker colors
