Second guessing DGM

I don't know why but lately I've been second guessing my DGM color choice thinking I may prefer red.

I wish DGM was a color I saw in person. I've seen mixed quality pictures. Some make it look really dull and some look really nice.

Is there anyone in the New England area that might be aware of a Red Limited 6MT that is coming in that may not have a deposit on it ?

There are no bad BRZ colors, IMO. That being said you could try contacting Manchester Subaru. They have 40 cars coming in between now and November.

These pics make it look amazing, which I think it will really pop the most on bright, sunny days:

In my eyes, DGM is one of those colors that look great with accents such as painted a BBK, interior stitching, bright red tails, etc. Ideally, a JDM TRD kit with the $11,000 BBK would really make the car stand out.

IMO it comes down to what kinda color/finish you want..

If you want Bright and flat, go with RED

If you want something with more depth but still bright, go for WRB or SWP

If you want to stay a little low-key but still have a paint full of depth, go with silver or DGM

My legacy is dgm and I like it. I would describe it as a graphite color with metallic flakes. It's not dull but its not a pearl.

good pic of a real life DGM car in the sunlight (albeit a fr-s), you get the idea.
