Abominations.

At least they’re an easy swap and not integrated into the headlight like on the new Z.

The more I see this color, the more I'm inclined to make this my selection.

I am disappointed that there are only 3 actual colors on this car. Everything else is grayscale. I do think Halo and Pavement look pretty good, no judgement or anything like that. BUT I think this car deserves to have a bright orange or neon green or something like that.

Tom's colors look fantastic and I wish I could order in one of those colors. Even the gray color from Tom's renders looks better to my eye than the 2 more silvery options from Toyota.

Out of the stock colors, Neptune and (sigh) Track bRed are the only colors that aren't boring. (to me at least, I concede that color is 100% subjective)



VS Tom's






I would 100% rock that orange.

It is a photoshop, but it was made by Tom's Racing, a tuning shop in Japan.

https://www.tomsracing.co.jp/english/

EDIT: more than just a tuning shop apparently,
https://www.tomsracing.co.jp/english/company/history/

I just like the colors from the pictures they made.

Also, they did make an orange car, not sure about the other colors.

19:08 in this video you can see it.

Not a super big fan of the BRZ look but it looks pretty good in the Grey. I think this will end up being my color on the GR86 unless I can wait until specials series colors.

You have the option to order a factory color and then do a wrap of whatever color you like.

True story.

Real talk though, I am at my maximum responsible budget just to buy one of these (I'm a poor), and wider wheels/tires are ahead of the color in priority. Sooo it would be a while before I could save enough to get a quality wrap on it.

It's not like I hate the factory colors, even the monochrome ones look good on such a good looking car to begin with. If I had a halo or pavement one I doubt I would be motivated enough to spend the money to get it wrapped.

I'm just tired of 90% of all the cars on the road being black white and silver. If it were a $500 option to get orange, I'd do it.

I don't disagree and companies like BMW, Porsche (and even Chevy's C8) give their customers an option to pay a premium for a non-standard color. On my BMW's, I was partial to Space Gray so I'm kind of glad that Pavement is not an up-charge!

i've considered wraps, main problem being that they generally are only guaranteed to come back off for 5-7 years, and cost around 1-2k fully installed. not to mention that by 5-6 years, most wraps are starting to pull/crack on the hard corners anyways....

my brz is 7 years old already. had i wrapped it, it'd mean this year it would need to be re-done to maintain the freshness.

i quite prefer paint...
