When I have to clean it I think I would have liked the Ultramarine. It's a beautiful blue, loaded with metalflake, and really pops in the sunlight. But when I'm done polishing, I'm still happy with the Firestorm.

Yellow would have been a good choice for me too if they actually made one...

Tough decision - good luck with it!
This is the reason I got Firestorm or Mt Fuji Red as it's called in Australia.

I think it suits the personality of the car more than a monotone color. It's bold and unapologetic and I reckon it looks awesome.

I think the silver is dope. I got an ultramarine and I am more than happy with it, but silver would have to be my second favorite.

No worries! I think environment has a lot to do with it as well.
Two FRS's That's like some kind of fantasy. Maybe a wet dream.
