okay so i got my 'raven' frs 10 days ago i love my car overall.rwd lightweight is fun but everytime i see the whiteout frs i so wish i had that color.when i got my raven there was a hot lava available which i didnt liked so i end up getting the raven.i mean raven is very nice when clean and wax but after 2 days it shows the dirt very fast.i know is very stupid of me regret getting raven color or any i know but i come from a previous black car which makes me feel at times like i have the same car obviously is not the same.anyways just wondering if someone feels the same way i do .....

having close friends with black cars, and seeing how fast the dirt shows on them, I chose to get asphalt.. It's still a dark colour, shows the shape of the car very well and hides the dirt..
but for you.. this just means you have to take care of your car more often, which is not necessarily a bad thing

What you could do is spend a little more money and give your car an amazing amount of detailing with a good wash then claybar then the opti-guard. Then you can add a clear bra.

This will all keep your car clean and looking good for a while. You'll get used to having a black car.

After owning a few black cars I vowed to never again do so. Small scratches show up in virtually any light and the moment you drive it after a detail it looks dirty again.

Lighter colors are much easier to hide the small imperfections - my old WRX's silver paint hid EVERYTHING.

I regret not being able to afford a second one with AT so I could have a matching pair.

Whiteout doesn't show dirtiness as much as Raven. But it also doesn't show shininess as much as Raven. So, there are good and bad. Why care about bad when you can show off its good?

Sall · 07-10-2012, 03:15 PM

actually im already used to black cars again i love my raven but whiteout makes me sad everytime i see it lol

Raven would have been my second choice (Asphalt #1). Black just looks mean. I don't share the enthusiasm for the Whiteout.

Sure it sucks to keep clean, but Raven can look fierce with a few mods. Plus it matches the interior so well.

Also, maybe try and sprinkle some periods into your posts.

Don't regret it Sall! It won't do you any good.

Just what others have mentioned, just take extra care. You probably know the drill on care maintenance since you already had a black car before.

Raven is a beautiful color! It will always have that aggressiveness to it. That color will never go out of style! Classic!

Some nice wheels will definitely help add some zing.
