    I've got the silver and like it... easy to keep clean....BUT,,,,.... I'd consider a 2-tone version....why don't they offer 2-tone anymore....

    I'd do the majority of the sides silver and go blue on the hood/roof and maybe tailgate...

    Just a thought.... I love them both...

    I took mine through some pretty tight Florida trails with a big group of us and i'm sure i got a few scratches, just cant see them, i have no problems with scratches or chips. Only way they would stand out is if they went all the way down to bare metal.

    Hmmmmm, found a 2007 SWB with 62k miles for $22.8k. Little over the mileage I wanted, but it's not too bad.

    Silver does hide scratches well. This is my 3rd silver vehicle (one being a duty vehicle) and I will continue to have silver vehicles.

    That is why I seriously considered a Pyrite Mica. If I could have gotten one package like mine in PM I would have bought that. Don't see many of them around here, a few here or there but not so much like the rest of the colors.
