VERY nice color!

I notice you have "tint" on your wish lish....Man, I bet that'll be sweet looking.

GRATS on your tC!!!
Thanks... I'm hoping to get the tint done soon (within a month).
I wouldn't really call it a color cause I mean, black is the absence of color... I'm just joking. I actually have a black 91 Camery right now. My Indigo tc is coming next week.

Btw, congrats on getting your car!

How tough is that color to keep clean?

I love the tC in black, but I'm worried about how often I'd have to wash/wax it.
i've seen almost all of their different colors coz i've gone to the dealers so many times. i also liked the black very much. for me it makes the car more bigger, stronger, luxurios and intimidating. the reason why i did not pick it though is that the rims' color or finish doesn't match the blackness and did not help accentuate the overall look of the car. but i'm sure it would definitely reveal it's beauty once you end up replacing them. plus, i suggest you look into and install the ground effects... i think this color is the best fit for it... that they're like a match-made in heaven, better than any other color, even mine.

but that's just my own opinion, though. your car is your car. if you know it looks best, then your right. congrats and good luck bro!

I'm actually a gal!



Anyways... about keeping the car clean... I've had it for about 5 days now... driven up to LA and back... the car is not too dirty. The main problem I have now is people's greasy finger prints...
... including my own. It is hard to keep the car shiny and clean because there's always someone's hand or palm print on it. The dirt factor is not too bad because the paint has so much metallic flakes in it... it kinda hides the dirt.

Good to know about the metallic flakes and how they help hide some dirt. Thanks for the info!
they actually hide a lot of dirt. I have the same problem and when I cleaned it the other day, it's obviously a lot cleaner but I didn't even notice how much dirt was on it. the biggest problem is the hand prints, though.
Here's some pictures of my newly tinted tC. The tint is 35% fronts/backs and 20% hatch.

Ohhhh man I'm definitely going to have to get that color if and when I get this Celica sold. I was thinking that one or the blue, but I bet they'd both be just as hard to keep looking clean, so might as well go for the badassness of the black. I'm down with washing every week and waxing every month.

That color's making me drool!
I love my black... its wonderful. The dust isn't even a big problem. I don't even notice it because of the metallic flakes. Only when I get close up and touch the paint then do I notice that its dusty. Finger prints are my problem.
Here is two pix of the car with the trd springs installed...
