black does show every thing, dust ,water spots, its like a mirror. but when clean oh so nice

Re~Mix · 04-07-2013, 03:19 PM

Pick which color speaks to you? Personally, I was choosing between two colors (Hot Lava and Asphalt).

No chance you can narrow it down from FOUR!? I mean I like the lines of the car in all colors, but generally preference comes into play.

Firestorm. Sports cars look best in RED.

I just like those four colors the best. Right now i am going back and forth with Firestorm and Argento with the other two there in case i cant get those two. Both show the lines of the car very well and both look amazing with tinted windows.

I have to take in to account this will be my daily car so that all plays a factor.

About as subjective a subject as you can get.. I would never ask someone to
pick my favorite color ...
Black cars stand out and seem to have more depth than other colors.. but shows dirt and dust faster than most.. also can make a car look "sinister"..
From the few I have seen up close. the raven black would be my choice..
In hot sunny climates.. Black cars get hotter as they absorb more heat.. something to consider if you have to park outside all the time..

I honestly haven't seen this car in an awful lot of coulours. Mainly because there are only a handful countrywide, and with a months-and-months-long waiting list, I understand why.

I have seen it in White, and love the white. It looks better on the road than in the showroom.
It looks OK in silver (your Argento). Around here, silver is the go-to colour for EVERYTHING, and as such I find it terribly boring, even on this great car. Sure, it's low maintenance, but it's the colour I like least.
I've seen it in Hot Lava, and, while cute enough, I don't think it's an "orange type of car"...

The rest of the colours I have only seen in videos and pictures.

I wouldn't go for red. Red is for Italian sports cars IMHO. It's not as low maintenance as the Argento (my current Fiat is red as well - a very similar tone, judging "by eye"), and I just don't like the taillights on the red... call me weird.

The Raven and the Asphalt are two colours I'd LOVE to see in real life. Around here, we have 90% sunshine, so either one could look GREAT, but become super hot.

The blue is a colour I am still warming up to... I don't normally like blue cars, but there's something plush about the supermarine (I think it's called that?) blue.

I have an argento and love it. I've left it unwashed for weeks and it still looks completely clean. My Raven would look like hell within a few days /:
I did opti coat my argento though, which I HIGHLY recommend after you get your car; no matter what color

Edit: BTW I absolutely loved my raven. Definitely my favorite color on the car even though I switched to argento.

Firestorm!

But, I have always been a sucker for a redhead

Kayeri · 04-08-2013, 08:18 AM

What's with hate on hot lava?

Sure dust shows up more than on argento, but I LOVE how the color changes from red to yellow depending on what angle you look at it on sunny days. And hot lava with black wheels and window tint looks quite exotic.

I picked that color because there are very few cars of that color around, it stands out in the crowd.

But it also keeps it extra warm for those cold winter days... oh wait you're from the south...

Also prone to key scratches

Kelbyat07 · 04-08-2013, 04:24 PM

Oh and dirt is pretty noticeable on the red one but I love giving my car a wash often

FR-S Matt · 04-08-2013, 04:33 PM

Ultramarine... plan on combining it with a full carbon fiber body kit with a carbon fiber spoiler (zeta) and carbon fiber rear cover. Saw it on this color and looks great!

RedLeader · 04-08-2013, 04:41 PM

Pick any color you can get. You can always get it vinyl wrapped later to whatever color you want. I went from red to yellow:
