Mine is Firestorm. Looks great when it's clean but because there is no metalflake to make it pop, it's not very forgiving for things like scratches, swirls, dings, etc. Dust and pollen also show up on it very easily. Red is a little more difficult to maintain and it is HOT in the summer sun. But, in my mind, it is the traditional color of a true sports car.

Don't worry about fading - all these cars have modern waterbased clearcoat finishes and they don't fade like the old acrylic enamels.

I am with you on the traditional sport cars color and nothing beats the Firestorm with a 20% window tint. Bu the hell if I am going to pay that kind of money might as well get the color I want and deal with the cons it brings, right?

White and Red were my only picks. White was sold old so I ended up with red. Don't regret it one bit.

Will you be modifying the car or adding bits and pieces to it afterwards? I love my Asphalt because of the silver specks in the paint, but trying to add color to the car can be touchy. I also work near a dusty tree and pollen area, but it's not that noticeable until after a month or so of not washing.

It really is a personal choice. I have the firestorm when I originally wanted the Hot Lava and I do not regret the decision one bit. Like a previous poster commented, the red is very unforgiving with any swirls or dings along with general pollen and dust especially in bright sun. However, you can notice all the swirls in any of the paint colors. Can't go wrong with any of the choices. With that being said, I have seen very few Argento ones around.

This, I didn't want Red, White or Black but all the others were fair game, took the first one that came in.

Couldn't be happier.

Asphalt btw.

Red is such an outstanding color when clean, and it may look cleaner than Asphalt and Raven with a small layer of dirt on it. My neighbors have Asphalt and Raven. Both outdoor cars, and recently we've been bombarded with wind and Pollen. Combined with wet, SF fog, they both look filthy in the sun. They don't look like 2013 models, instead they look old and neglected. I know it's most likely because they don't clean it, but the dirt is really intensified on those dark shady colors. But it wouldn't matter if you hand cleaned it the correct way every 2 weeks, it'll stay looking great no matter what color. 1 week if you work at a really dusty place.

I would go with Red. They're uncommon where I'm from, I'm sick of seeing the neutral colors, and I get excited when I see the Firestorm. It sticks out and enhances the lines of the car in its own way which IMHO beats Silver. In Black and Asphalt, the car appears smaller but the red makes it look slightly wider and more aggressive, especially from the rear.

I mean, that's how I see it whenever one passes me or I pass one.

Your signature pic makes the Firestorm color even more sexier than it already is, I really love the contrast, the car looks really clean in it

I have an asphalt, washed it today, took it out for a quick air dry, came back and it was full of pollen. Fuck GA

Agreed, I notice the dust after it has been sitting in my garage. From 10ft away not noticeable but up close...

I still love the asphalt colour but the white definitely doesn't show the dust as much. Good thing though is the asphalt and raven don't show the stone chips as much as white as the base coats/plastics are dark.

Argento for low maint. This car honestly looks fantastic in any color, particularly whiteout IMHO. Saw a black BRZ Limited earlier yesterday and said to myself "dayum that looks good!" Then I saw a blue BRZ then said "nice!" After I parked my car and got out, looked at my car I was overwhelmed by a sense of satisfaction with my purchase. lol

The only color I don't like is the hot lava. It's a nice color and all, just not on this car.
