Dark Gray or World Rally Blue? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I love the dark grey and how the metallic flake sparkles in the sun. WRB is very nice as well in my opinion. WRB wasn't available at the time I bought, but I was already pretty set on the look of the grey anyways.

The biggest disadvantage to any dark paint is that scratches, swirls, and dust/dirt are more obvious and it looks dirty much more quickly after washing. Luckily I find washing my car regularly quite therapeutic and is a great way for me to relax. Detailing has become a hobby (yet another expensive one..) so I don't mind the extra work required for my dark paint.

Metallic paint is also harder to touch up as inconsistent flakes tend to stand out.

As always, looks are entirely subjective and you can choose whatever you like best.

I see 3-4 WRB WRXs a day, two at the gym I go to alone...I cannot stand it anymore. Its bad when a black mustang is a breath of fresh air.

I have had my WRB for just over 4.5years and not seen another WRB in that time. Must get out more!!

Always had positive comments regards the colour.. slight drop in height and pushed out wheels help set the scene.

He asked which color to pick...I was simply giving my opinion. My car is as cliche as it gets! A red FRS with big black wheels and tint. Maybe other parts of the country have a million red ones? But I will be darned if I let a kid drive by in a WRB anything and give me a thumbs up and not give him a thumbs down.

So how are you enjoying the flatbrim hat? What coils do you like best in your vape?

It is a small low profile car that can be hard to see at the best of times. Colour preference is the most subjective thing in the world but I want as much chance of being spotted as possible. The fact that the Toyota name for the dark grey is "Asphalt" does not bode well in the highway visibility department..

Bowler hat and vanilla flavoured vape... I'm not a smoker but vaping looks very tempting... A gadget to play with when out in the "scene"!

The big vape units just look like you are practicing your bagpipes.

I just assume everybody in the UK does.

Canada like the pipes as well.
