Firestorm destroys whiteout IMO. I'd prefer it if the white had of been very stark and non metallic

Not my daily. I won't do anything that I would take a hit on.

Methinks you might change your mind when you do get a Whiteout.
It might be a case of "grass is greener".
The only color I'd understand doing this under is beige or baby blue.

Not worth the cost, unless you are very very wealthy. You will lose a LOT of money...might as well look at an entirely different car at that point.

Absolutely keep it then. Firestorm is a beautiful color.

Everyone has whiteout. Firestorm will be the rarer color.

If you are not completely repulsed by firestorm, then you should stick with it. It is a beautiful color for the FRS. If you insist on whiteout and are patient, you can wait several more years for the newer FRS—and, depending on the changes, you might like that one better.

I switched my order from Whiteout to Firestrom because every seond person I knew was getting it and it was starting to look boring to me. Firestorm looks awesome IMO in your face boisterous colour that matches the personality of the car.

Don't sell it, take roughly $300 and buy this, you can get it in quite a few colors and it's reversible. I plan on doing it to my motorcycle and may do the FR-S I have on order. You can even get clear and do your own "clear bra"
