Just For Fun, The Color of your FRS - Page 11 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I want the color of the Subaru, 35% tinted windows, PC'd matte black wheels with candy lime green brake calipers. And since the projectors may be chrome and the rear is like an altezza lamp I want the inner housings of both either the body color or matte black.

Blue or White

Blue - as in the S15 type blue, or 350Z blue... I cant remember the name of the shade.

White - as in bright white, super white.

Both looks great with Bronze Wheels, Shadow Chrome Wheels, Gun metal Wheels etc.

350z Datona Blue or Honda Championship White are the shades I like.

As much as I love how a black car looks, I don't think I can deal with the maintenance again! I think this time around I'm gonna get Gray of course... Throw some black tint on, with gunmetal/black rims with a polish lip. Probably wrap the trunk, roof & hood in 3M Carbon Fiber. Seen it on a GT-R, looked very nice.

You never seen a properly dry carbon wrapped car. It's the cats meow.

bofa · 06-09-2011, 10:30 AM

I hope you are kidding. I have seen a few (pretty sure there's a youtube video of the GT-R he's referring to as well), but it's very... very... cheesy imo. And who wants to be the guy that gets asked everywhere he goes about the carbon fiber body only to realize its fake and you are a poser.

Anyway, if you are wrapping for the track, whatever. If you are wrapping for the street, I would avoid the CF look unless its real CF, and even then I'd probably paint most of it, but that's a personal preference too.

To each his own I guess.. but wrapped CF

Yeah I guessed your right bofa, dont want it to look cheesy... Cuz I'm not that kinda fellow. But it does look kinda nice.

Edit: If the car was a charcoal gray or cement gray with matte black down the center top like the pic below (minus the back end done). Then it would be more subtle...

Like everyone else Ill hold off to see what's offered, black and white are leading options right now; Subaru has made some awesome yellows in the past too. Lately Subaru's paints can use some quality control, I think ill end up 3M clear wrapping lots of the sensitive parts.

Yeah. Magazines and photos don't really do it justice, it's really neat in person.

Nothing beats a properly good green
Not neon, not forest green, a good clean green,
its unique and not childish
