I've taught myself to enjoy it while it lasts and accept the dirt in the long run. If I get a few good days and one meet, I consider the cleaning worthwhile.

Couple photos of the better half and myself at a local autocross. Just in case you are wondering CST = C Stock, Street Tire. Also, I'm not the photographer and can take no credit for the shots.

Cheers!

Grabbed mine from Lawrence Subaru in Hanover, PA. Not very good pics, but at least she's mine!

Thanks Zadkiel, I pre-ordered my CBS limited March 1st and I am still without a VIN. All this time has made me start to question my choice of color but these pics have re-affirmed things for me again. Congrats!

Keeping it clean is hard, but it's a very different type of black. When the light hits the metal flake the right way, it almost looks like a very dark DGM.

Thanks for the advice, ended up choosing crystal black!

I'm also curious as to why Subaru switched from obsidian black pearl (the black on their STI's, which I do like) to crystal black silica for the BRZ. Any CBS owners care to share their thoughts on the silica specks in the paint? In dimmer lighting and from a distance the car looks like a normal black. But I just can't seem to get over the fact that in broad daylight the car looks very glittery/speckled. Advice is appreciated.

I have SWP...and recently coming from a black car I can tell you I love it. If you're really considering it don't trust any pictures...there aren't any that I've seen that do it justice. It has a nice pearl look in the sun but it's very subtle. It just fits this car very well.
I like black too...but wanted a change...and so far I'm very happy with it
