Go Team Lava!
The Firestorm is nice but is the only non pearl paint and seems to miss out a bit for it.
Right now it is so glumly and cloudy my lava looks brown.
The right light though and WOW!
There is a reason why most of the Toyota advertising uses Lava to promote the sports aspect of the car even though it is the least produced.

I beg to differ!

Firestorm is more "epic" than lava tho. It's science. Plus, look down at the bottom of this thread. Chances are you'll see an advertisement for the scion frs with the firestorm right up front :P

if you have the money, see if you can get an RS.1 ...you know, the yellow one? That will get attention..

I got passed on the freeway yesterday by a guy in one of those. It really is a good looking car. Grabs the eye for sure. Any thoughts of jealousy were quickly dashed by me remembering...hey...I have an equally eye catching ride ( that was parked at work :\ )!!!! Also my stereo is probably WAY better than his

It's a toss up, however Hot Lava is more unique and Firestorm is more classic. Both are my top choices for the FR-S.

I'd highly suggest attending a local 86 meet to see both colors in person.

Of the two I would personally go with Hot Lava - I think Firestorm is the only non-metallic paint that these cars come in. On most car I feel like I don't prefer metallic paint, but on these cars I think they look stunning with it, and as you mentioned, I think that sort of paint on these cars help "shows their lines the best". Hot Lava is also the only color unique to the FR-S, so that helps to distinguish it from a BRZ (if that's of any merit to you.)

That's just my opinion though - just make sure to get which one YOU want, and not the one that the majority chooses, etc.
