When we bought the F-type we were looking at a dark blue one and a black one. My wife says (pointing at the blue one) "that one looks sophisticated. Then she looks at the black one..."but that one is sexy as hell!" So we have a black one. She was right. Good choice, enjoy!

Not to rain on anybody's parade, and I'm sure your car will be absolutely gorgeous, but as a new owner of a rhodium silver vs coupe, I just feel that F types in Black, and some of the other dark colors, just don't do justice to the lines of the car, as opposed to lighter colors, of Glacier White, Polaris White, and my Rhodium Silver.
Totally realize that color is subjective, and the car is beautiful in all colors, but just stating my opinion.

Congratulations! It will be nice to have another cat in the area. I've yet to see another one on the Chapel Hill side of the Triangle.

I picked black everything except for the stitching and seatbelts. I picked red for the stitching as well as for the seatbelt.

I am sure you will love it!!!!

I saw some in other, lighter colors and liked them quite a bit, but I LOVED it in the Ultimate Black. The F is a car that looks good in every color, which is something you cannot say about most cars.
