Choice B: Dark Grey Metallic looks better for this type of car in my opinion. You should start a poll at the top to get results

Red.

Gray is usually one of my favorite colors, but not for sport cars.

DGM; for some reason I only like red on the FR-S.

Spend some time in these threads:

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3807 DGM megathread
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3808 LR megathread

Also I'd make sure you see them in person, day and night. Lighting can make a decent difference for example:



DISCLAIMER: Yes that's not a BRZ, just a convenient example of big lighting differences I saw earlier today.

If it comes down to splitting hairs you might want to think about things like will you be replacing seats or adding seat covers? If so what colors will they be? Any interior color changes at all planned (dashboard, console)? It's ridiculous but what color phone case do you have right now? Do you like contrast? With the DGM it's roughly the same color all around (body, wheels, plastic trim, diffuser, etc) whereas the LR contrasts sharply and pops. You may prefer one over the other. Personally between only those two colors I'd go red, the dark grey seems a little boring for a sporty car. Good luck!

Red seems like a very odd color for a Subaru..but it sure looks amazing.

I'd vote red of those two colors.

The Red looks like a Ferrari from behind. Especially with our stock tail lights and the black part of the bumper.
