Sophisto IMHO.

I've parked mine next to white and protonic blue and the difference is jarring. The blackcents (see what I did there) on the hood, rear, and rocker panels cause the eye to go crazy on the other colors and distracts from the lines of the car. With SG, everything blends and the transitions from panel to panel become fluidic and lose the choppiness seen with the other colors.

Waiting to get nuked.

Cheers-mk

As a Sophisto owner, I'm very happy. I think most of the colors have their own positive vibe, but Sophisto is my personal choice.

Yes you can. Shouldn't be expensive at all either.
