Fiji Blue or Night Hawk Black?

I'm having a hard time deciding between Fiji Blue or Night hawk Black. Any fiji blue owners out there that regrets getting the blue? Or any night hawk black drivers that regrets getting a black? Owners of these colors, please tell me what the negatives are so that I can decide. Please help!

What I could think of:
Nighthawk black: Hard to take care of. Gets dusty fast, and gets really hot in a sunny day. Every scratch you can see since the contrast is a black car with white scratches.

Fiji Blue: Looks like a rice rocket (not that thats bad). Will you get sick of driving a blue car after a couple years? In some lightings, looks freakin nice, but in other lighting, seems dull at times? Does it look like its more for highschool students or college and above?

Which one do you think looks more aggressive? More slick?

Please help!

I have a black Si- I love it when it is clean! But black picks up everything- it is a pollen magnet.

I havea Fuji Blue Si and I dont regret my decision at all. usually for a few weeks after I buy a new car I regret my decisions. Haven't had that at all with my Si. Its stunning color no matter what light your in.

Mine's black. I get to pick her up today around 3!!! My color choices were down to these two exact colors but I was set on black from day one. The first time I saw an Si, it was actually two sold Si's -- Figi Blue and NBP. The blue looks amazing in the sun but black looks gorgeous.

I had same decision to make - I passed up the black w/ NAV to get the fiji w/o NAV.

We just sold a black Expedition and already have silver and pewter cars in the driveway. Decided to get a "color" this time around. It reminds me of my 1983 (blue) Toyota Supra from back in the day!

Too many black ones around - but black is always the best if you are willing to work at keeping it clean.

Pick one and live with your decision.

I've got a Fiji Blue. No regrets at all. I get quite a few compliments on the color.

I actually prefer black on the sedan, not the coupe/SI. Any interest in waiting for a '07 black sedan SI? That would be boss.

I honestly love the Fiji blue color, but its just way too common here. Thats the only color i've seen out on the streets. If it were between those 2 colors. I'd go with black. can't go wrong with NBP

I'm biased as you can tell by my username but I bought Fiji Blue because it is stunning in any light and I liked the idea of having a color unique to the Si.

I saw my 1st SI on the street last evening - fiji blue - it's gorgeous!! Glad I picked it!

Black is nice, too - tough choice.

BLue can be a bit flashy, I think it definitely stands out
however, black is sooo annoying to clean, I washed my car, all satisfied that it was clean, few hours later, it was mauled by tree spooge, damn you tree, you win this time

hell they're all good. i've been throuhg where u have been.

i ended up w/ habi red. every color looks bomb on this car.

black will be a pain in teh arse to clean, adn it doenst' look good when u let it sit and dont clean it up. scratches will show instantly and it's just headache to make look "SHOWROOM CLEAN"

blue was what u said "rice rocket color" I thought that was definately the color i wanted until i acctualy thought abou tit, it doesnt look taht good and imo it's kinda tacky. I know for sure i woudl have gotten boared of seeing this flashy rocket look blue on my car.

Silver i though twas waaaaay too redundent. everyone has one, and it looks just liek my parents 04 accord.(which is silver as well)

rally red was way too flashy, especially me in LA, too many tickets, but a hot color indeed.

GG was too classy adn not a sport color

Hab red was the frist color i saw, it was georgous in the light, and especially when it hits the sunlight, however, choosing aftermarket rimson this car might be a little difficult as the color doesnt' really fit "rims" i'll have to figure that out later.


Thsi was my thoughts on pretty much each color i was acctually thinking of. I thought of them all. If you were to go w/ a color, stick w/ silver or the rally red. its' all preference though. I didn't want a color taht everyoen had. thats also why i REALLy didnt' want black or silver. Habi red was somethign no one really has, or the blue, but i thought i woudl get sick of the blue.
