My baby is a write off T_T
 
Hi all,
so my Firestorm FR-S is a write off, and I was thinking of switchign the color. I originially wanted Asphalt, so maybe the Firestorm getting totalled was a sign xD I am not a big fan of blue but the Ultramarine is starting to grow on me. Any ideas? Plusses and minuses of each color?
Thanks all :)

what happened?

get the color you want. If you really wanted asphalt the 1st time, get that!

I own an Asphalt FR-S, hands down still my favorite color. If i were to do it over though.... Subaru Blue BRZ. I love that color and the only reason I didn't get a BRZ was a 8 month waiting period and mark-ups when the car came out.

Hot Lava is also nice, however I prefer to fly under the cops radar :lol:

I think I read that the blue has been d/c'd...so you might need to shop for used. I honestly don't think there is a bad color on this car. I think from a pure maintenance perspective white is easier to keep looking clean and doesn't show scratches as bad as a darker color.

But, it's white. :D

WRB is of course my favorite, but the asphalt/DGM is a close second.

Ultramarine, the best color on an 86.......

This. You'll regret it every time you walk to your car and it's not asphalt.

The Ultramarine is also dope because throughout the day, it has multiple shades of different colors and then once night time hits, you blend into the shadows. Whatever makes you happy in the end.

ftc~brz 02-06-2014 08:33 PM

I'm gonna get another WRB but that's because it's my fav color and I can't see driving a different one.

also Kudos for the share. I very well could have silently replaced mine with the same and no one would have known.

I'd suggest you go with what your "gut" told you the first time ..... http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...mages/wink.gif

PS - what happened to your red car .. ??

I have Ultramarine blue.. it's a great color. Looks good both in the sunlight and real sleek at night too. If I had to do it all over again though, I probably would've went for the BRZ and got WRB

Fett4Real 02-06-2014 09:07 PM

Have asphalt, wish I had white or black to get prepainted TRD parts...but really like asphalt...hot lava is pretty nice as its just on the toyota....maybe a monogram? Howd you total it?

Wilso 02-06-2014 09:46 PM

Thank you all for the replies! I like the changing colors of the ultramarine, but the grey is sooooo slick. I was thinking of getting another Firestorm due to the not having to deal with "what happened to your old one" but oh well lol.

I rear ended someone T_T I was slowing down at a light with an SUV infront of me, light turned green, he started going again, I rubbernecked looked back and traffic just stopped :( nothing I can do but blame myself for being so stupid T_T lesson learned though

I saw all the colors right next to each other and fell in love with white with hot lava second. A coworker got a hot lava and he must wax his car every weekend cause that color when is clean it's off the chain!
