Thanks fellas,

I don't regret not getting WRB although DGM hits hard on the feels lol. It's a matter of how I want this car to look of course since it's stock, I just have a difficult time looking through the pics to get an idea of how to go about it.

Damn dude, stop overthinking it. I still don't understand what you're tripping about.

Difficult to interpret on a forum. I'm not worried at all, initially I was just asking how white looks with certain contrast and some people provided responses. Still looking for ideas tho.
To be fair, idk how you can't understand it as there are tons of people in this forum that wonder what color they should pick and how they'd go about it.

I regret not getting whiteout. The ultramarine is underwhelming. Plus the whiteoit would match well with my superwhite mr2.

people who are reasonable may just recognize louvers inhibit dirt from being effectively washed away from the rear area in which it covers.. haven't seen much hate on the TRD ones in particular except for complaints on the price tag (totally unfounded.. can only imagine the manufacturing and logistics/shipping costs of those things)

Besides being partial to white cars all my life, Pearl white is a color someone should own at least once.

You can use this image as an inspiration just like I did. Don't know how far I'll get but I'm keeping mine classy with strictly only OEM parts (minus that wing).

Much appreciated for this response. That's a type of picture that does the car and color justice. How far along are you? I'm considering the whole kit though not sure about the STI wheels quite yet, wish I could've just found a series.blue actually, it's a great amount of black on white.

Sick looking car.

Do you have the 17s or the 18 inch wheels?

I'm planning on eventually selling my 17s and getting 18 inch wheels from japan parts

Not very far, I've been taking my time. Just the STI springs, lip, exhaust tips and fender garnishes. I'm on the fence about those side skirts, makes the sides look higher off the ground... Might just rock mud flaps. I wouldn't be able to live with myself with the interior in a series blue.

Yeah I'm not a fan of black wheels wither, but they make them 18" in gunmetal or silver.

Where did you get the STI exhaust tips?

Ah alright, I've thought about a few of those such as the lip and springs. The skirts are tough since I feel like I'd have to get the whole set.

Honestly, pictures do not do this color justice, when I see mine in person it looks great but I can rarely find a pic that I like of the pearl white. Really difficult to see the wheels in em and man it makes it tough to decide haha. Are you going for a gunmetal or silver?
