Almost there... galaxy blue vs white?
 

almost at decision point. really like the blue and with it being 2013 exclusive, it makes me want it a bit more... but the white is 'premium' or something right? I mean it cost a bit more for the fr-s. Is the paint better quality or something?


Also, having owned only gray cars, how are blue or white cars for the 'lazy people' that don't need to clean the car daily?

Galaxy Blue! Plus it's a bit more difficult to paint match the white if you need to touch up the paint, or if you get accessories like an aftermarket spoiler/fender vents/etc. White is so common too for both the FRS and BRZ, so yours would be very unique especially since this is the last year for GSB.

I love the Galaxy Blue. Was my second choice.

Galaxy blue.

I just had my bumper painted; apparently GBS isn't easy to match, either :mad0260:

OP, Galaxy Blue is like literally the best color. I might be slightly biased. But it's hella sexy and you should get it ;) all cars look dirty when they're dirty. Maybe you can't see it but I can!

Perhaps this will persuade you?

When the sun's going down it has a completely different personality:

Just took them today and wasn't gonna post them, but to help you. The White in different settings. Personally I would've picked Galaxy Blue if they had it at the dealer, but I do like the white and it gets a lot of attention from people.

Edit, the white doesn't show dirt as much, but the amount it shows the love bugs down in the south is ridiculous. You can see the smallest dead bug on the front.

White....uh I may be a tad biased as I have white

Well, GBS has been discontinued starting with the 2014 model which gives you some exclusivity and kind of looks good you know... Not to mention you become instant member of GBS Mafia :D

I have a White, but the galaxy blue looks great as well. Tough choice. You can't go wrong with either color though!

Go GBS. I have white. It looks ok but it's kind of boring. If I could do it over I'd go GBS.

How's this for convincing?

GBS in sunlight looks like a blue shade of the Pacific Ocean (:

I debated between white and gray when I was shopping, and almost went with gray, but white was my first desire and I decided to stick with it on fear of regretting color choice. I'm biased towards white, I think it's the best color for a car. With that said, my opinion may be useless. Go with your gut, not what other people tell you.

GBS!

Looking at your pics I have to ask, what did you do to your fogs lights. They look white, not like the yellow ones that come with the car stock

Don't they all come clear from factory?

I'd find a dealer that has both GBS and SWP. Have them park it next to each and it'll help make your decision easier.

Here's mine and @pmccut at the car wash. I'm biased towards white but he's thrilled that GBS is leading the poll.

Either way you can't go wrong :)

GBS is Sexy. But on a completely off-topic note, I'm going with WRB

Just going to leave these photos of my car here....

I just changed the bulbs to these ones http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/l...leds-pair.html

I believe I bought stage 1, might be stage 2 though don't remember.

I was in the same boat and then decided that Silver was for me. Good luck! The BRZ looks great in all colors, so you really cannot go wrong.

^What he said^ Whatever your choice, it's a good one!

GBS is second only to WRB for me. White is somewhere near the bottom. Just too boring unless you are a white car fan. Errr...a fan of white cars.

I had this exact same dilemma when I made my choice. I went with GBS and would do it over 100 times in a row if I could. I didn't know this when I picked the color, but it's amazing how much it changes given different lighting. It's such a dynamic color that you will likely never be bored of it. Also, Pacific Ocean.

Good luck!

think ill go blue for now. Off to play mind chess with the dealers this weekend. car buying... sigh.

Thank you, just ordered some. At some point i will have to stop copying you, but not today lol

The ones from factory look yellow compared to the HID's and dont really match the HID's well. his are definitely white and look like a better match to the HID's.

Haha! Copy as much as you like, GBS Mafia members are entitled to it :D

I want to make a gbs mafia sticker now.

blue ftw

Good luck. GBS is a great color and hopefully you can find it for a good price.

I'm going through the same debate with WSP or GBS. Saving for a down payment right now and most likely around December I will be ready to buy either a 2013 if still available or a 2014 but I'm still stuck on which color. My pops and I do body work on vehicles so we have experience with cars and looks. He loved the white the most because of the black accents and trim on the vehicle. I have a feeling when I'm ready to buy there wont be any white available for 2013 but I still see a lot of GBS still on the lot here in Socal in a 6MT.

Oh, I thought you meant the lens itself, not the color of light.

White works
