DGM or WRB?
 
Ok, the time has come but I can't decide whether I want WRB or DGM.

I love both (used to have a DGM IS300) and currently have a WRB'ish Echo Hatch so I really don't care either way.

Does anyone know which is more common?

DGM, both colors show dirt and swirl marks super easy. but the pearl in the DGM is so nice. i love mine. I see way more WRB brzs, and alot of ASPHAULT(DGM) Frs

Go look at it in person, in the day and night. I personally wanted something less flashy and did not want to wash my car too often, so I went with ice silver mettalic (1GU) instead of WRB. 2015 WRB has changed slightly over the older models so take note of that.

it doesn't matter where u ask, on a subaru forum ppl will always say WRB.

Just buy wut you color you thought of the 1st time.

I am also changing my mind on a daily basis. I have seen the DGM live and I have to say it looks great. It makes the car look more expensive then it actually is.
I had my mind set on white, but having seen DGM live I tend to sway towards that. I also owned a own a dark grey IS300 btw.

WRB is lower on my want list because I understand the rally pedigree of the WRX but with a BRZ not so much because that is basically a borderline Subaru after all (no offence).
And the blue makes it more a boy racer kind of car. But then I can change my mind again in a heartbeat.

at first i wanted the white but after seeing the WRB with some black accents and all, i knew i had to have it in the blue. I like the DGM but i feel like there's no contrast in the car. You don't see the fender fake vents, the front grille isn't as contrasted and the rear bumper black section is too hidden with the DGM.

Your call though! :D

Actually, the reason I like DGM is because the front grille and "mouthguard" piece is camouflaged with the body. The whole car feels more stealth but at the same time isn't as full on dark like black would be.

I personally like DGM the best. I have a SWP but if I had to it again I would get DGM. Both are great colors, WRB is the most popular but if you wanna be different get DGM.

DGM man! WRB is fresh for those who love the classic Subie style, but this isn't a rally car... and that DGM looks mean and clean on the street.


Although, I may be biased since I own a DGM.

I voted for WRB and I feel that the DGM looks much nicer on a FRS. @Cockatoo has a FRS in DGM and it looks very nice glossed up. Looks black from afar, but the shade and gloss is great up close.

However, I think the curvey design of the BRZ doesn't suit DGM. Same reason I don't like the red on a BRZ either.
Personal preference though!

TLDR: BRZ looks best in white and WRB in my opinion.

WRB > all

yeah i actually liked the way that looked at first. Before I was fixed on a BRZ i was more into an FRS. I always thought the BRZ looked better with the mouthguard more hidden but overtime the mouthguard looked more refined and mature to me as opposed to the FRS and it's a character of the car that I didn't want to hide.

In the end it comes down to what you like! :) if you want it more hidden then just go for the DGM. Asking a group of people to vote is only going to give you more second thoughts. At the end of the day you'll still have your own reasons for liking the two and opinions won't change that.

At least that's how i see it xD if anything think of the long term. What you plan to do to the car if any. The wheel colors and whatnot and how you want your car to look.
