The most difficult color to see on the web is red though. I have yet to see an accurate representation of Lightning Red through photos, but another friend's STI is that color and it looks great in person. It's almost like they used flat red and then glossed it, unlike most of the other colors that look completely glossy/metallic throughout. |

Thank you, great pictures! DGM is beautiful!
DGM looks darker in the sunlight and ligher when its cloudy. Thats what I like about it, it is almost black in the night, but you don't get to notice scratches like you do on the black cars. Also, I think front fascia looks the best on BRZ with this color. Very flush and elegant. Add 40% tint, and its going to look even better. |

With dark grey paint I'm always worried it will look like primer, but it looks really nice in those pics.

It's not the lighting, it really does look awesome. Maybe its just the car in general that looks amazing in person, but pictures really dont do it justice - the color or the car.

I have a DGM WRX which should be the exact same color as on the BRZ. You can definitely see the metal flake in the paint and the car looks lighter or darker depending on lighting.
Overall, I love it and think it's the best looking color on the current gen WRX, but I prefer a lighter paint on the BRZ. IMO, I feel the DGM hides the lines of the BRZ too much, which is why I went with SSM. The WRX has much more aggressive and exaggerated lines, so they stick out regardless of color. Either way, I think you guys that ordered DGM will love it and it's incredibly easy to keep clean and hides scratches really well. |

Wait really? How did I miss that? The higher end Subaru has a crappier sound system?

I'm not concerned so much about the head unit as I am the actual speaker components. I'm not very knowledgeable about stereo stuff, so someone will have to enlighten me. Do the cars both have the same speakers? Will the Subaru sound as good as the Scion?
