The raven is tough to keep clean. When it is clean, though, it looks stunning IMO. That's why I chose Raven for my car. At first I thought the whiteout seemed a bit more classy looking, but after everyone and their brother got one, it just became another Cadillac Escalade in my book (meant to be classy, but really isn't anymore). The firestorm looks rather nice as well, but like the hot lava, its rather flashy. Ultramarine is also very nice. They're all nice. Roll a dice or something...

Not a sliver person at all.

After owning red and black cars for years I chose a Whiteout FR-S and feel good about the change.

Whiteout color is very nice and worth every penny of the "upgrade" cost. Easy to keep clean, wont show every hairline scratch and wont show swirls as easily.

Outside of silver I really like any color you could get the FR-S in.

Don't be a hater, get a H8R.
YES! Get hot lava! I looooooooooove this color, it's pretty rare, and it does look different depending on lighting outside. Hot lava is the best!

Great idea!

I got my Ultramarine last week and couldn't be happier!
Everyone has been complimenting the color, and the stock rims look the nicest with this color IMO. People even compliment how nice the rims are they. They think they're upgraded rims!
One old man came up to me at a gas station and said "I thought Ferraris only looked good in red, but that blue is so nice too!" He really thought it was a Ferrari lol.
But really, blue is a rare color and it even stands out just as much as the Hot Lava and the Firestorm IMO. It gets a lot of attention.
There are more Hot Lava's and other colours in my city than the Ultramarine and since blue is my favorite color, it was a no brainer.
You can't go wrong with any color though.

I haven't been "flashy" with cars. Always bought black and stressed over keeping them clean. Fast forward life a bit and I'm married, have a career, a wife, and two kids. I ain't got time for that! Cleaning black cars that is. So I bought a firestorm. Now I'm flashy and it's a bit easier to keep looking good.

i got raven just because that was the only care they had at the dealership. My favorite color would have to be the silver or asphalt. They both hide dirt really well, and they just look so good.

I was hunting for Ultramarine, but couldn't find one within reasonable distance to DFW, so I ended up with Asphalt and I am very happy with it. It's the classiest of the colors

I suggest you take a look into the compilation thread of each car color and see what you think of it I'm an asphalt 86. Beautiful color.

Don't forget you can go with a BRZ that has a few different shades of color as well as not all the goodies from the 10 series but most like dual climate control, push start etc. That's the route I'm going once my 350z sells.

Red. I haven't seen many in person. Which is weird because red is such a popular color for sports cars.

From the first time I saw any photos of the proto type, and the majority of the early advertising it was always red. So I always have felt that FiReStorm was the definitive color for this vehicle. And that name! FiReStorm... How cool is that... And FRS is in the name. When I am not thinking of my car as The FRS, I'm thinking of it as the Firestorm. And this isn't some wimpy Ford Focus red, or some presumptions burgandy, this is Ferrarri red! This is pan head Harley red. This Red Baron red. Now couple that with the fact that the only interior is black with red accents...? Anyway,that, being said I love this car in any color they make. I always remember playing the game "cutie" as a child. You know the one where you build the bug one body part at a time. Now what color body did you choose in that game? Or what color did you have to be in Risk? Pick that!
