Wrapping The Car: Which color? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Wrapping the FR-S for misc. attention magnet purposes. We're at a slight speed bump when it comes to color choice. Let me know what you think amongst these options:

3M Series 1080 Wrap Film

Option 1: Chrome

Option 2: Bright Yellow

Option 3: Bright Orange

Wheels are Winning Blue 57Xtreme 18-inch staggered.

I think bright yellow actually looks pretty good on this car. Check out the BEE-R BRZ.

Chrome would just look obnoxious and would be hard to read brand names off of. Have you seen that chrome veyron? It screams "I have too much money and I don't know what to do with it". Very tacky imo. (plus justin bieber has a chrome car)

I feel like yellow might look a bit "fast and furious". A light shade of matte blue might look cool, as would a medium/light green.

Still, take any advice on here with a grain of salt. We aren't car designers haha.

I'm on the BEE-R yellow vote, but there's a group of hardcore chrome guys pushing it in that direction.

Voted for Bright Orange, will go great with the blue wheels and I'd love to see it!

jadewbj · 01-21-2013, 05:47 PM

Make an "Itasha" car

EsoBOFH · 01-21-2013, 06:21 PM

chrome is lame... orange is already available.. i say yellow.

Cade01 · 01-21-2013, 06:27 PM

I vote orange, mostly because I use to have a Tropic Orange GTi and I now have a Matte Blazing Orange Triumph Street Triple R.... I like orange.

JoeBoxer · 01-21-2013, 06:29 PM

Bright Orange, Sky Blue with the winning blue wheels would be interesting too.

dorifuto · 01-21-2013, 06:42 PM

I never thought I'd like a yellow car until I got my sonic yellow wrx.

Chrome is the best attention magnet, plus I want to see a FRS/BRZ chrome colored car

Skurj · 01-21-2013, 07:18 PM
