Yes it is, or order it yourself online

It's just as well. I wanted a blue FRS, but felt it was a few shades too dark. An FRS in a nice Civic SI blue might have done it for me.

Well i might as well give my 3 cents on this topic.

If you ask me, this car looks best in Ultramarine, its the perfect shade of dark blue.

But of course no one asked me so i'll just go back to my ball bearings now.


Oh and if they discontinue this color then i'm going to go on the forum and yell/type MY CAR IS SO FUCKING RARE YOU CAN'T BUY IT ANYMORE, BETTER THAN BRZ!

They should replace Ultramarine with a lighter blue and DGM with a more gunmetal grey color.

Also add yellow.

On the Canadian website, it isn't available as a dealer option anymore either. They had it up for a few weeks a couple of months back, but they took it down. Originally we thought it was because they were out of stock, but that's not the case because my dealer just happened to have one left in stock that they installed on my car prior to delivery.

agreed. the blue posted in the early catalog images looked brighter and bolder, which actually had me debating between white and blue. but when i saw the cars in person, the blue was a bit of a let down. so i went with white. no regrets!

Ultramarine looks great under direct sunlight but bland at night and on non sunny days.

If I lived in a sunnier state I'd probably get it.

Huh, that's a pity if it does get discontinued. I really dig my Ultramarine. Waited a few months just to get the color. Happy I got it before the color went away at least

Been contemplating on getting mine wrapped. Maybe a confirmation from Toyota/Scion will do the trick. After all, 10 new FRS landed at the nearest dealership, 2 10-Series and not a single ultramarine.

which TRD kit are you talkin about? the one that only comes in white, black, or unpainted?

I'll third that, and add that it looks great under bright lights at night (like when fuelling up at the local gas bar).

Galaxy Blue/Ultramarine is the best color. I might be slightly biased here
