i've owned a lot of nice cars over the years (the NSX with its 26 layer paint job), infiniti fx45 (its infamous oil drinking rings and wobbly rotors), acura RLs that go 160k on a single timing belt, LS430 UltraLux with bad air shocks... there are just some things that other car makers do better than others.

as far as your whole construction worker vs architect question... i dont think many people would hire a world renowned architect, and then hire day laborers to do the job. you have to look at the whole package. if you hire a great architect, then shit for labor, the architect doesn't matter. you have to look at the whole scope of the build.

for what its worth, all FR-S colors except hot lava are subie paint codes
