Yeah, my fear with Orange was that the "cool" factor would eventually wear off on me and then I would be stuck with a bright orange car.

Couldn't agree more on the Ultramarine... It's the only color I can't stand... I wish the FRS came in the BRZ blue instead of Navy blue.

I have a silver car now, after 5 years it still looks new, hides scratches and chips very well, that being said... its not a sports car color IMHO.

It may come down to that....I need a 3 sided coin.

I was also thinking of asking the dealer I want a white, red, or orange with zero option and under 10 miles. First one you find I will buy. Almost let them decide. Of course doing that would almost certainly eliminate the Lava.

Thanks for using my picture, I love the Whiteout, it was tied with Firestorm but my dad has a thing for Pearl whites. It's very beautiful in the sunlight and even in the night but I believe the best time it looks most appealing is during the sunset especially if the sky is pinkish-orange!

If I got another one, I'd choose Firestorm because it's not as common and it looks really nice when it's clean, it outlines the car really well and makes it look wider from afar.

No problem man, I was more concerned people would be upset. It was one of the better cars/pics I could find.

I feel like I am now more torn with White or Lava

Saw a hot Lava today, looked awesome in the sun.

I've wanted a white car since I was 16, but never had the chance to find one that I liked. I've had black and red so far and that's it.

White can be whatever you make it with little, simple changes. It can be clean/classy and it can be super aggressive with a simple wheel swap. It's not loud like red or orange is and it doesn't show every flaw and dust particle like black or dark gray.

I figured that since I was buying this car brand new, I was going to get EXACTLY what I wanted. No regrets on my decision and when I added tint it just added to the sex-appeal :wub::wub: I'd eventually like to get some silver TE37's on her in a couple years and keep her as clean looking as possible.

The white is beautiful. I was between raven and whiteout. I ended up with raven because that's what was available first. On occasion I regret not holding out for whiteout but after opti-coat the black is very classy.

Spend some on the threads and be patient. Make sure you get the one you want.
