Seriously what are the color options? Black on black? Carbon Fiber on black?
brb don't like chrome so I have to put a black grille on
brb 23k for the car now another 1500$ to get it wrapped.

Edit: Gloss black on matte/gloss or carbon fiber black is tacky as all fuck imo.

In terms of customization? Black on black or carbon fiber on black, as opposed to what? What options do white cars have that black cars don't? White rims?

You're talking about something completely subjective. My favorite car colors are black, grey and white. I feel black is more menacing and classy, grey is sporty and masculine, and white is bright and energetic. It's all personal opinion.

I personally am running black on black on black. Black car, black rims, black interior. I had a carbon fiber spoiler, but that got smashed when I got rear ended.

Black - the most beautiful color.

Never again for me - once is enough. Sold a near perfect black convertible because keeping it as clean as I wanted was an everyday job that was driving me nuts.

If you don't mind all of the swirls and dust showing, and if you live in a place where it's often cloudy (sun shows up each imperfection to the max) you may be OK. Maybe not.

Yah, its hard to be **** and have a black car. My last car was black and I told myself never again. Ended up with a black MB though. Can't be picky when you buy used.

Hahaha exactly the same as me!

Keeping a black car clean is a pita. It is so awesome when just washed and detailed. 2 days later a wreck. But again I'm **** about it, so other people might be happy with it.

The benefit is, it looks best when it's clean and also at evening/night when the sun is gone I live in WA, it's always cloudy here. I have no problem with black cars! Except it is still hard to take care and have to be picky where you wash the car

Not sure what this thread is about. I strongly prefer all cars in black. Can't live with them though, so I bought the C350 in white. But I do think Black looks much better.

I mean't in terms of customization. I feel the biggest draw back is that a black MB is very common. I think white, silver and even red have a lot more options when it comes to accent colors.

Glossy black MB with a matte grille and carbon fiber lip is way to many different shades of "black" and just looks dirty to me. I google image searched for 2012 black c300 to get ideas and every car looked the same just different years.

From what I have been told the most popular color for C Class cars is by far white.
