Color Opinions
 
Im posting this because I just wanted to get peoples opinions. Do you think Asphalt is a nice/good color? Reason I'm asking is because I had a hard time deciding which color to get, its was driving me crazy.:mad0259: I wanted something nice & something that wouldn't stand out as much but also noticeable. I would really like your opinions.

You should get Raven, its a nice color that doesnt stand out so much. But looks good at the same time.

True, I was debating between that one as well, but black gets dirty really fast, dirt would be really noticeable.

Asphalt was starting to become one of the color choices I was deciding on... Doesn't show as much dirt as a black car does, has that metallic look, and also has that richness / elegance to it.

I ended up with Firestorm because I like the extra attention, haha.

Good luck.

I had this exact same problem prior to ordering. Asphalt was my top choice followed by silver and black, but right at the last second I chose somethin out of left field, just for the hell of it lol. I thought sport car, sporty colour, so I rolled the dice and chose hot lava in the end.

It was between Asphalt and Argento for me. I liked the metalic look of the Asphalt but it showed dust more and looked hotter... I ended up with Argento, less washing!

This car looks so good in all the colours. I swear my top picks change every 5 minutes while I'm on this forum. Makes it hard to commit...

When I saw the Asphalt in person, it looked pretty nice. I was actually surprised by how nice it looks. It's unlike most grays you see out there.

Red is the fastest color...

Asphalt was my choice #2. I think it's really nice.

Asphalt was my second choice and might still end up with gunmetal rims.

My 300zx is gunmetal grey and I reckon that Asphalt is a better colour. bit deeper, a bit less metallic and darker. Very nice.

I have decided to go with Velocity Orange as it just pops nicely in person. Love it!

1. Argento - (if you want a light colour) shows the lines of the car really well, pictures do not do this colour justice, not as hard to maintain as white.
2. Asphalt - (if you want a dark colour) love this colour, masculine and reflects well in the sun. Also hides the dirt a bit better than raven.

It was really difficult for me to choose the colour (Europe, so GT86). First - negative elimination: black - difficult to keep clean, white - here in winter it would get splashed to the roof with black mud, silver - too boring, this is probably the most common colour around, blue - somehow not for me. Then asphalt grey, red or orange - hot lava... I decided on red just because it will match the red stitching and red alcantara on the seats, but when I see photos of asphalt FR-S I think "this looks just amazing".
But see it in person. When I had to decide, there was no cars in the showrooms yet - and you can go and see one.

Raven or Asphault are my 2 favorite colors for this car. I had them 1 and 2 on my list and ended up getting the raven. The blue is also really nice actually. I never was a big fan of blue cars but the blue they use on the fr-s looks good.
