Choosing the Right Color

I feel like with such a beautiful car part of me wants to show it off... At the same time though, living in a smaller town I would rather not have everyone know where I am at all times :P

For those of you that own DGM, does it go that unnoticed? Or are you saying so in comparison to the other colors available.

Who says you have to pick just one?

don't worry, you'll choose a color, then you wish you chose a different color in 12 months. You can always wrap you're car to any color in the future, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I had a pre-mod vision in my mind, so I knew I was going SWP with "panda" accents with CF/Matte Black/Brushed black metal pieces, with black rims.

I sorta wish I went WRB for the Subaru exclusive color, and going with aggressive Bronze rims.

WRB cause it's Subaru.

You guys are so lucky to have multiple colors to choose from. Here in China, when 86/BRZ first became available back in March this year, we didn't much choice in colors. We had to take whatever they had in stock at the dealers. And we even had to pay premium for an 86, around $4500~7500+ on top of the MSRP. We are paying a lot more for the 86s and BRZs here in China than you guys do in the U.S. The MSRP for 86/BRZ is $41385/MT and $42923/AT. T_T
I preordered mine in March and got it in June. The only two MT BRZs they had coming in were both in white pearl. I wanted go for the WRB but had to settle for the white one. But I kinda liked the white color after I had seen it. So yeah, that's my story.

Oh, I didn't pay premium for my BRZ because most of them wanted the GT86s. And all the dealers have stopped charging premium for either 86 or BRZ.

I am in-between Lightning Red and Dark Grey Metallic. Thankfully, I already convinced myself that I don't want World Rally Blue. I am just praying it does not creep in my mind again...

Lol I was exactly in the same boat. At the end I finally counted out WRB from my top 2 colors to choose from.

I do get weird feelings when I see it in pictures and what not though.....it's almost like that girl that you knew you could've hooked up with before you went with your gf, and you are ok with it because your gf is your first choice, but still....every time you see that other girl you kinda want to....but then you remember what you have....yeah.....that's WRB for me....

I end up going for black btw.

Favorite color = red. That's always my strategy. If not available in red, I tend to go with lighter colors such as white or silver.

I used to hate silver on ANY car, til I saw a silver BRZ in person. Silver shows off the body lines better than any other color. I originally ordered WRB because of how vibrant it is. But it just doesn't have the "timeless" look to it that SSM does. I'm happy with my decision to get silver

I was torn between WRB and GBS. Also black, as I have owned black cars for the last decade. Black on the twins doesn't do it for me, so I was down to GBS and WRB. When I went to the dealership there was one of each, parked next to each other.



You can kinda see the GBS next to mine in the pic. Ultimately I went with WRB as that color is absolutely stunning in person and I liked that the FRS is not available in that color. I have no regrets, even though GBS could be more valuable as it was only available for one model year.

WRB because Subaru. I considered SWP and DGM as well, but the rest didn't really do it for me. I swore off black cars until I get a garage and don't have to DD it.

[Frstorm]

only reason i kinda considered BRZ is the WRB.
