My opinion on it don't shoot me.

I agree completely the Orange mahes it tuff to find things that look good. Still struggling on what tails to get. Some really nice ones that look great on the darker colours would just look washed out on the lava.
When I got mine the dealer had some light coloured 18" rims on it that looked horrid.

Don't even notice it after a bit although I certainly did at first. Not like it is huge swaths of red at any rate.

In hindsight, should have had the balls to get the orange, cars should look fun as well as feel fun.

Yeah the orange and red clashes, the amount of time I'll spend looking at the car with orange and red is relatively small, and still works better than the blues imo.

It's not a mainstream color b/c most people like the home grown colors.

Personally I feel like the lines only show with certain colors. Black and asphalt definitely don't show off the beautiful lines as well as the other colors imo.

Hot lava aka orange is good. At the moment it is our second favourite colour after white.
But I'm starting to like the blue too especially at night.

BRZ rally blue looks very nice at night under city lights but during bright sunny day I find it a bit too brightly coloured.

Never dig silver. Red is only nice when its new at dealership and it's the only non metallic colour from the offering

Black is nice if you can have a full time job washing and polishing your car..
