Raven looks much better than white out in my opinion. However raven doesn't work well if you want some color in the interior. But the worst part is trying to keep it looking show room shiny without swirly

I keep seeing whites ones everywhere, but it's more of a "trip over them", not a head turn like the Blue, Red and Orange ones. The white makes it look so generic.

Not to be a weiner, but I love my whiteout.

It's why I get the same color for every car I get.

^ This. I got a DGM BRZ and the day after I picked it up from the dealer, I had it paint corrected and Opti-guarded. I can give it a quick two-bucket wash, and finish off with detailing spray and it looks awesome. Especially with our color, the light metallic flecks just pop when you have it properly painted corrected and Opti-guarded. You picked the right color dude!

Sucks OP. When I went to look, I had the choice of firestorm, or raven. I actually went to another dealer to find the whiteout. At that point, it was the only whiteout/mt car in San Diego. I was buying a new car for the first time in my life (I'm 31), so I wasn't going to settle for anything other than EXACTLY what I wanted. I'm happy with my decision to be picky.

I'd probably go black if I hadn't already owned 3 black cars prior (my infatuation ran deep). But now I stereotype Raven FR-S drivers as douches thanks to this video:

Since everyone here started throwing up their colors, I'll whip out mine. WRB gang-affiliated baby go WRB or go home

Though i sometimes do feel jealous of the darker colored cars such as the black/dark grey, i still prefer SWP and WRB. I find suburu's swp beautiful as it can look different under different lighting, so it isn't boring or generic. It can range from almost looking matte to looking glossy.

And noone can hate WRB hahaha

Why are your side view mirrors laughing at me.

I got the Argenta because I can from a black 2000 Honda prelude SH, and down here in Houston, it got hot as fuck. I figure lighter color, less heat. My little brother ended up getting the firestorm and I did get color envy. His says hot and sexy, mine simply states "domesticated" lol!

I get the same feeling sometimes too, I ordered a WRB BRZ because to me that is Subaru and it matches the badge, but I ended up getting a Lightning Red instead. Sometimes I wish I shouldve waited for mines to arrive, but I think my mind might change once I get some Carbon Fiber to go with the body. I seen some nice red EVO IX's with carbon fiber trunk and hopefully the BRZ will also look nice like those as well. We shall see....

i originally wanted a raven, but ended up getting whiteout, due to the high level exposure of dirt and swirls. but after seeing ravens being opti coated and it gives that swirl free bright glossy shine, it makes me regret not sticking to my original choice of color. although i still love my whiteout. but seeing the raven after a good opti coat makes me have second thoughts

Aussie here. We get 'Storm Black' and 'Pegasus White Pearl'. I assume they're the same as the US, but is 'Whiteout' a pearl finish?

I've always been a black car man, but when I saw it in person I was a bit disappointed. It's cliched but I felt like it hid the lines too much. When I saw it a week later in white, my mind was made up.
