Interesting how the LFA left the side mirrors black.

Hmm. A lot more negative reactions than before. Makes me wonder if people really have their own opinions, or just echo what the first response says so they don't feel outcast.

I think it looks very unique. I would drive that. Better than seeing the same old colors and stickers everywhere I go..

LFA is good in any color

I hope he enjoys brake dust, nicks, scratches and everything else your tires kick up because there is no way in hell I'd drive behind that thing at night. Chrome bumpers are horrible enough.

I second this. Except for brown, ew. I wouldn't mind driving the chrome BRZ, even more attention for me I guess.

Mastro (sp?) Subaru, central Florida I believe.

This car was at the 86 mega meet in Orlando a few weeks ago.

Not my cup of tea.....or beer.

Beer is good.

I've seen a black chrome GTR in my area that I think looks sick as hell.

I think that the BRZ/FRS look cheap in Chrome.

The LFA isn't that great looking in Chrome but it does not look as bad as the BRZ.

The GT-R in the video posted above looks great! It has more lines and some add ons (ground effects and fender treatments) that make it look better than the previous cars posted.

depends on the shade of brown. Metallic brown is nice:

That's a nice one, but I was thinking more of a poopy brown color.

Agree 100% The wrap on the BRZ makes it looks like cheap plastic, while the LFA looks nice. Though it might be the lighting that makes them look different.

I would never do this to a car, especially for $7000.

I was actually wondering what a BRZ would look like with chrome racing stripes up the hood like the camaros
