anyone get an frs/brs in a color they didnt want just so you could own the car itself sooner instead of waiting? if so, what color did you get, and which color did you really want? im considering getting a red or silver frs just because they are on the ground, but i would rather have a black or white one

Don't, you'll regret it. Your buying a brand new car. Drive something you want, not something you have to compromise with.

I had could have had three other frs that were right in front of me but I waited over a month for my asphalt. Get the one you want.

I originally wanted Asphalt. Then one showed up at a dealership near me that had been reserved by someone else who changed their mind and went for AT instead of MT. I decided to go and check it out since I hadn't seen one in person. Three and a half happy months later, I'm still loving the Firestorm MT. I liked the red, but I figured I'd be a ticket magnet...so it wasn't like I ended up with a color I didn't care for.

I agree, get the one you want. If its an FRS and you don't mind traveling a bit, you should be able to find one.

Eh, no. I actually got my first color choice, Ultramarine. My second choice was whiteout, but after seeing the whiteout in person, it probably should have been my first choice, because I'm in love with the pearl white.

I wanted whiteout and i got whiteout, even though I had to hunt a few extra weeks. I passed up on an Asphalt, Ultramarine, and Hot Lava.

ill86 · 09-19-2012, 02:52 PM

Firestorm and Raven were my choices. Ended up with Raven... Still love firestorm.. If I get another one it will be firestorm.

KEV-FRS · 09-19-2012, 04:24 PM

im looking all over the place. i dont want to compromise either, but im fine with either raven or whiteout. my other two color choices are ok, just dont prefer them.

Chen · 09-19-2012, 04:33 PM

Just keep calling and harassing the dealerships. Forget the deposit.

BanzaiZee · 09-19-2012, 10:42 PM

At first, I wanted an Asphalt or Argento, then I found out there was a Whiteout coming in sooner and unspoken for. My dad always told me never to get a white car, but I was impatient... I placed a deposit on the car and the dealership said I could get a refund if I ended up not wanting it. I figured I'd at least get to test-drive the car.

Yep, I got the Whiteout and I LOVE IT. : )

KEV-FRS · 09-19-2012, 11:57 PM

I have called every dealship from canada to mexico and all the way over to utah. Only found automatics and hot lavas lol, one asphalt manual in utah. At least they all have my number in case they find one.

xxmaryduhxx · 09-29-2012, 04:44 PM

I wanted whiteout. I went to the dealer and they had a raven, bought it that day. Only thing I hate is trying to keep it clean.

YourFearlessLeader · 09-29-2012, 05:29 PM

Wanted a whiteout and changed my mind when i saw it in person. I thought it was way too girly lol. Love my argento a lot more.
