Carbonized Gray vs Iconic Silver

[BPark9]

I am having a hard time deciding between these two colors. Do any of you have pictures of these colors? Likes? Dislikes? I ordered Carbonite Grey but might want silver. I am getting black rims too.

Not sure if this helps to see on a different ford vehicle but here’s a pic of iconic silver on my mustang. Pros: looks good, shines in the sun doesn’t require as much washing, has to be super dirty before it shows dirt, forgiving in that the sun reflects light and shine can draw your attention away from minor paint imperfections. Cons if you lose paint, very noticeable, deep scratches even worse, showing the black primer underneath, paint match is a nightmare if it ever gets in a wreck. My wife’s Edge also iconic silver, had another car bumper minor rub in the parking lot, obviously jerks didn’t stop but you could definitely see black underneath. if my choice were between carbonized gray and iconic silver I‘d go carbonized gray

Opposite scenario here. Ordered Iconic Silver, but now looking at Carbonized Gray, Cactus Gray, and Area 51 with serious consideration. I'll probably go with my gut and stick with my original choice.

I was torn between these same 2 colors. My original order was silver but switched to the Carbonized Grey. I already have a silver Mustang.

My car is the Toyota version of Iconic Silver. Other than being mind numbingly boring and hard to identify in parking lots of other similar silvers, I have to say that it doesn't show dirt from a distance. If you're a person who has to park outside, and hates washing and waxing your car, go with the Iconic Silver.

Heh my current car is a silver CRV. Had to put a sticker on the back window so we could find it in a parking lot.

Carbonized Gray

That web configurator does not do justice to Carbonized Gray. It's a beautiful truck.

Alto Blue had been my first choice and what I ordered but I found this locally at my dealer. Love the gray and bonus for me is the painted wheels match. I like that look a lot.

I have a vanity plate with my last name on it.

I just took delivery yesterday. This was a pic the dealer sent me when it first arrived. You can't go wrong with either color really. I thought I might like the contrast of the black wheels better with the Iconic silver.

I ordered A51 and am now wishing I had ordered Iconic Silver after seeing quality pics. I feel like the silver does an awesome job at highlighting the body lines.

I had a 16 GT PP in silver and loved it. That’s why I’m tempted to go Silver myself to channel my love of that car.

I was not a fan of the silver until i saw it in person. It was parked next to a carbon grey ranger and i was really torn between the two but went with the carbon grey because the rims blended well with it. As someone else said the rims look great on the silver because of the contrast. Don’t think you can go wrong with either color.

FWIW I have CG and wish it was silver
