Red brings out the lower grille better, but you lose the emphasis of the sweeping lines.

White does a good job at bringing attention to the front grille and the rear end due to contrast. The curved surfaces do a good job in bringing out the Pearl lust of Halo.

Sir you have amazing choice of words /bow

I like black cars but would hate owning them. My buddy is anal about his cars and he'd never own a black car again. His 911 was sitting in the garage and dust would layer up as soon as he washed it.

My bro's is pretty beat after all the daily driving as well...

Black is nice for only about 3 hours after washing, then its dirty again hahahahahaha. If you live in a hot area (I live in Hawaii), expect your car to be over 120F inside when you get in T_T.

Exactly what I was going to say! I had a black S2000. Choose scratches, dirt, swirl marks, buffing compound between panels, or another color. LOL

But seriously, BLACK LOOKS AWESOME when CLEAN! The car above does!

I originally planned on getting a red frs. Unfortunately my local dealer didn't have one in inventory. I ended up choosing a white one, and the color ended up growing on me. Imo white is the best color. Long story short I ended up trading in the white one for a red one and well... it never grew on me for some reason. I missed the white so much that I went back to the dealer so see if i could get a white one instead. Luckily I was able to get it back. One word of advice I can give you is to get the color depending on what kind of cosmetic changes you plan on making to the car. (Wheel color, Body Kit, Aftermarket taillight, ect...)

Alltezza · 10-26-2014, 08:50 PM

BLACK!

chaoskaze · 10-26-2014, 09:13 PM

I would say red. Cuz personally I dont like the new white as much as the satin white pearl. As for black, if you gonna keep it stock black is good. But one u put up some body kit on it. The red or white is so much better on the color contrast.

So I just wanted to clarify, you traded in your white FR-S for a Firestorm, and then you traded back in for your original white FR-S or a new one?

Now that's one way to find out which color someone truly likes, lol.

I probably would have went with red if i didn't already have a red car. So white it was!

Scubasteeve · 10-29-2014, 03:59 PM

I was in the same situation as the OP...I did not know what color.

I didn't decide which color until I was at the lot...everything changes when you see the color in person. I thought I was going to get a charcoal, but I ended up getting a whiteout. It depends. Good luck!

Scubasteeve · 10-29-2014, 04:04 PM

Op,

Just a heads up...Ken at Longo Toyota told me Whiteout was the most popular color on the FRS in terms of sales.

IMO, White, Black, or Red look the sexiest.

I saw a red FRS on the street...looks so much better in person than it does on pictures in the forum.
