Go for the black one. Waiting is too painful.

Well, my vote goes to carbon black all the way

Within 1 week, i shouldn't doubt about that

I would take white over black, personally.
White is the easiest color to take care of. You can compound scratches out with ease.

White always makes any car look bigger. It is easier to let go without a daily bath.

The ast black car I had was my 84 Corvette. Way way too difficult to maintain. Was almost heartbreaking.
