See if you can get Red. ( uber rare). Or you can never go wrong with wrb

Consider Sterling Silver Metallic. It is metal, black AND white. Then peer into the future in two years and ask yourself "Will I still like it". Silver or not.

The black, hides the few lines the car has and gets dirty quickly, but it looks amazing when washed and waxed.

The white does a better job of accenting the lines and curves. It also requires less maintenance compared to black, but it is not as striking.

What do you guys think? White or black? Are there any reasons to chose one over the other besides which is easier to clean? Such as paint issues, or anything else I may not have considered?

This is how you choose...

Whatever you think looks best.

But some things to consider, Blue with definitely stand out more (might be good or bad depends on what you want). Black IMO looks the best, but i am making a career of washing my black brz haha.

Best of luck choosing, for me it was easy because I like black the most.

I had 2 WRB WRXs before the BRZ. The 2011 WRX, I was really between the WRB and the DGM but I ended up caving and getting the WRB.

This time around I was between the same two. However, I found a limited DGM first so I took the plunge. Really looking forward to it!

I have a CBS BRZ now and love it. People are correct it's a bit more work but as small as the car is, not a big deal. This is my second BRZ, the first was SWP, hit two deer, repairs were fine but the paint matching was a nightmare and after four times back for paint matching the CBS came in and I took it.

Just some input!

iLuveKetchup · 07-07-2013, 10:35 PM

Id get white, if it actually came in white. SWP is more beige than white.

CTB727 · 07-08-2013, 12:18 AM

Everybody is forgetting silver. Before I got my car, I used to HATE silver, and I mean HATE it. But silver looks great on these cars since it shows off the body lines very well. It's a nice classy color and it's easy to maintain.

WRB FTW!!!!!! But if your stuck on B or W Id go white because black is hard to keep nice.

Really?

You won't be disappointed in almost any of the colors offered. I was originally dying for WRB, but saw and drove the SSM and compromised my values for it. I haven't looked back, and I'm very happy with my decision.

This car is surprisingly beautiful in silver. A car that is this beautiful works in just about any color. The silver helps me blend in a little in the case that I'm pushing the speed limit... which I NEVER do of course... And it gives me a lot of flexibility with wheel colors/engine decoration.

But ultimately, get whatever you think you'll like in five to ten years, because you'll probably love the car enough to keep it that long.

5th 86 · 07-08-2013, 02:04 AM

Thats what i was thinking about white blend better then black, wrb, or red.

kevin920415 · 07-08-2013, 02:46 AM

You are lucky. If you go on an another forum, they will BASH on you for not being able to choose your own color. I say go with WHITE.

Black - swivel marks and etc.......shows wear and year after ages..
