For some reason I like the Sepang on the car only; on the truck it seems out of place. Just my two cents. The Panther Black is amazing in person and you will definitely see the color transitions.

I'm not a fan of Sepang and I'm tired of Black cars... (Hate the blackened look)

Estoril is yummy...

If you're going with the Black Optic package, go with a pale color

I'd do the blue because it's the closest to old school seahawks colors!

I'm not a huge fan of the purple undertones in the panther. I'd save money on the crystal paint and go phantom.

The scuba is bright, but it will pop with the silver mirrors amd look great with the 21's if you go that route.

I've seen several Panther blacks and it always looks purple...unless that is what you are looking for.

i think that blue looks a little bit too much like WR Blue and associate it with a boy racer vehicle (wrx). nothing against the wrx - i have owned a wrx and an sti. but given the 2 choices, i say black. but if you get the blue, make sure you get gold wheels lol

I have Panther Black in my TT-RS and the only time you really see the purple come out is on a bright sunny day right after I've washed it. Even then the purple is very subtle. I'm not a fan of purple cars but I don't think anyone would ever look at my car and say it was purple. I think the color is great.
