Darnit - I was all set to get a Series 10, and then you go and post this and now I'm second guessing again! LOL

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!

What mods are you going to do? None? Lots? Colored wheels are all the rage these days, so if you're going that route, try to determine what color scheme you want to end up with. You may be interested in A, B, and C colors the most, and not really X color at all. But you would love X with Y colored wheels more than A, B, and C in their factory form. Body kits, lips, diffusers, tinted windows, so on and so fourth. All available in an infinite amount of colors, and all play a factor.

Here in Bakersfield, strong summer sun led me to choose Whiteout. Prior to the FR-S I had a Magnetic Gray and then a Super White Tacoma. The white made a huge difference in cab temperature after sitting out in the sun at work.

If I could, I'd have one of every color:

Monday-Whiteout, Tuesday-Raven, Wednesday-Argento, Thursday-Asphalt, Friday-Firestorm, Saturday-Ultramarine, Sunday-Hot Lava.

Whiteout is my favourite and that's also the colour I was able to get, the only problem is about half of the ones I see here are white, literally. Makes me regret not going raven. If I were able to choose now, I'd go raven.

They are all beautiful, and I would take any of them. I have a Whiteout.

Asphalt looks the best when cleaned and in the sun.

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.
This is exactly what I did. Especially since I didn't have the benefit of seeing all of the colors in person before i decided. And believe me, you're not the only one that agonized over color choice.

I have one so I am biased, and I do like all of the other colors..but he's right. I think Asphalt cleans up the best.

If you plan on getting aftermarket wheels don't get an asphalt. Nothing goes well with that color lol

If I can do it over again i would get the regular silver one (not the 10 series) I love my whiteout but its kind of annoying having the same exact car as my brother, especially when we park next to each other everyday..lol..oh well

(thats our whiteouts in my avatar)

Argento is the best color. All the other lesser colors are only OK.
