Red vs White - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

sho220 · 10-25-2012, 03:01 AM

I've owned several red vehicles and have gotten fewer tickets in them than all the other colors.

Well I currently have a red and like it but am changing soon to the grey. Long story but Toyota swapping out for no cost after delivery wrong colour. Good deal in the end!

I do like the red but am looking forward to my grey with the black TRD 18" wheels.
These wheels with the red callipers on dark grey - Mmmmm

In 1995 I got pulled over for 7 "random" license checks ... in a single month!

Cops admitted they mostly just wanted to check out my WRX. Yes, it was red.

@nix - a pretty old thread now. Did you order? If so what colour?

jarviz · 10-25-2012, 08:04 AM

is that a delorean in the first pic? maybe that can help your color dilemma

dori. · 10-25-2012, 10:19 AM

red or gray, everyone has white

DarkSunrise · 10-25-2012, 10:45 AM

I think red and white are the best colors on this car. Can't really go wrong with either. I've got white, but would have been happy with red too.

Realm · 10-25-2012, 10:51 AM

Only thing I like about red would be the matching seats/stitching. I've always bought white cars because I love the white/black contrast (tinted windows, tint, trim etc.) I have the white FR-S myself... main part I like is the rear end contrast. In the end it's whatever your taste is.

As you can see I'm bias towards white.. this is what I had traded in for it. White/Black eheh.

hate the stock wheels

Okay so this is going to sound real dumb, but I was really leaning towards white until someone told me it looks feminine. Now I'm afraid that everytime I look at my potential white FRS i will think about this. Help convince me it doesn't look like a hairdresser car color?
