(i like the grill on the FRS; but the LE extras on the BRZ)

Its more complicated than that. They are the same color, but the I dont think the front bumper fits with the headlights.

Color is the same, and the lights are the same. Because it is pearl though, there is a chance the bumper color wont match the body perfectly, but you run that chance on the car anyway. Usually they paint the body separately from the bumpers. Also you are painting plastic vs metal. As far as the FRS bumper lining up and fitting though, that is not an issue.

Goddamn I was just reading this thread, I go outside to admire my asphault GT86 and then I see bird shit on my roof. Now I have to wash the bloody thing.

I cant really regret my colour choice..because I didnt have a choice. it was either buy one now or wait 6 months for colour of my choice

I love the look of a black car when clean, but I seriously doubt I'll ever own one again. I swore off black cars after owning one in the past. Far too much work and shows every imperfection, not to mention every bit of dirt. But if you got the time/desire/effort/patience to keep a black car lookin' good, then all the more power to ya!

I also forgot to mention in my post that I ordered the Hot Lava FR-S without having seen it in person. Actually, when I ordered my car I hadn't seen any of them in person. But still happy. I love it.

Come back to me when you have a white Supra that turns the rear bumper black after only 1 day because its random bursts of backfire and wheel spin. White isnt any better (if not worse) But if you love your colour, its the price you have to pay.

White and black, 2 worst and best colours..

The ravens with five axis kit and rims remind me of the bat mobile. I came from a meet last night and majority of the guys had whiteouts, and i was the only asphalt for the first 30-45 mins. It kinda looked like a company car meet rather than an frs/brz meet. I wanted the whiteout (hell, i got a white phone coz i was gonna get the whiteout), but ended up getting the asphalt. Clean the car, detail it and have it opticpated and you'll have a car where you can see your soul's reflection.

I really wanted an Ultramarine, but just couldn't find one at the time. I test drove one a few months before getting my car and I thought it looked awesome.

I like Firestorm, but I feel self-conscious driving around in my car because it's just so red. I think it would have looked really nice if it were a metallic red instead, too.

rthaanum · 12-14-2012, 08:14 PM

I <3 my ultramarine. No complaints here! The pearl white is sexy too though..

Raven still looks good even when dirty. And when it's clean it rewards you with sinister good looks.
