Firestorm or Ultramarine?
 
2 Attachment(s)
I know these two usually don't end up being people's top two choices, but that's what happened in my case.
Being colourblind, and only being able to see primary colours, it's come down to either Firestorm or Ultramarine for me. The other colours are too dull for me (not saying they are bad colours), and Hot Lava definitely stands out, but to my colourblind eyes, it's a really ugly colour. Looks like poop. :(
So it comes down to these two colours. Both look amazing in person, and I just can't decide.
So which one would you pick?
Firestorm or Ultramarine?

Why are you asking us? It will be your car. You have to pick.

Im sorry to hear about that. Firestorm is a really nice color IMO.

Wilsonk227 04-12-2013 03:37 AM

I'd say go for firestorm, it has more of the sporty look to it imo. The ultramarine is nice but I don't think it gives that same look or aggressiveness that the car should give.

Those were my two choices too. I took whatever was available at the time, which was Ultramarine. No regrets at all, and I'd have had no regrets if Firestorm was what I ended up with either. They're both great colors.

I love my ultramarine so much <3

I might even wash it. First time since December woo! lol. We used cinders in WV for the road and I didn't wanna risk scratching it.

I rolled with Firestorm, and I usually hate red cars. It just pops on this one. Same as the AP2 s2000's

That ultramarine is amazing. If I could do it again, I would have gotten the blue. The only reason I didn't the first time was because my last car was blue and I just wanted something different.

I wish they released the WRB for scion though.

A red car diminishes the effect of the accents like the red taillights, red reverse marker, orange side markers, and makes the black plastic trim really stand out. Basically it just looks red with black, and silver wheels. The blue is very nicely complemented by the aforementioned accent elements, and the black trim is blended better with the main body's color.

Personally Ultramarine.

However since you're on the fence between the two just take the one that comes in first, you won't regret it. Or the one with fewer miles on the clock.

Firestorm if you don't speed, ultramarine if you have the bad habit of doing that (occasionally of course :P).

Can't go wrong with any single color on the fr-s, though. I mostly did a "walk in and pick what's available" - all the colors look great in my eyes!

I guess the only reason I would have to end up choosing one that's available is if I end up getting the 2013 model, but seeing as how I've waited this long, and the 2014 will be out in a few months, I may just order one the way I want.

Decisions, decisions...:mad0259:
