Hot Lava or Asphalt?
 
Hi guys, put in my order for a Hot Lava auto with upgraded audio in a few days ago and they said 3 weeks or so.

But today they said they have a guy who backed down on there Asphalt auto with upgraded audio, and was wondering if i'd be interested. Its still wrapped in shipping wrap and sitting on the Lot right now.

I think I like the asphalt to...
What should I do lol I want an FRS!

All the colors look pretty damn good, but I'm not a fan of silver. Probably because I've been driving a silver car for 4 years though.

I love my hot lava but if you're open to the asphalt why not? I almost made the same change myself the only thing that stopped it was the dealers markups. A week later I got a call from them with a hot lava and they were willing to mak it down. Couldn't be happier with my choice. But if you like either colour it shouldn't matter the cars gonna be awesome either way.

I agree the only two colors I didn't want we're argento and ultramarine. The rest are sexy as fuck, asphalt is a great choice if you can't wait.

I love the asphalt but thinking of going with hot lava myself just because after you finish washing the asphalt car, it takes a little dust and it looks dirty! At least with the lighter color cars(hot lava, firestorm, argento and whiteout) it takes a little longer for it to APPEAR dirty vs the darker color cars. Nothing beats how sharp a dark colored car looks after a wash and shine, but it aggravates the crap out of me fast they look dirty!

Yeah that's my only put off, However coming from a non metallic black jeep, I this the metallic dark grey should stand off allot better against dust in comparison. I gotta keep thinking about it lol

Just got my Hot Lava today and I think it's beautiful! Asphalt has always been my second choice though.

I would go with the Asphalt, but it all comes down to what you want.

Would you be happy with the Asphalt, can you wait for the hot lava?

I'd have to go with Asphalt. I saw this movie one time (Dante's Peak, I believe it was), where they tried driving over Hot Lava in a vehicle with off-road tires; they didn't get very far. I imagine the skinny little FR-S tires would burn up much quicker too. Only drive on Asphalt, or Whiteout if you go slow.

...wait, what were you guys talking about? :D

Honestly, I'd wait for the Hot Lava. That seems to be the color you want most (since it's the one you ordered), and it looks way, WAY better in real life than any pictures I've seen. Fits this car well, whereas the Asphalt I think is too subdued.

Asphalt was my 2nd choice. But I decided to wait longer to get my 1st choice.

It's rare because it's fugly...j/k

Asphalt is a much better color and if you already like it then I say make the jump.
