buying a frs real soon! cant decide what color to get it,between red,black or white - Page 6 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I'm generally not a fan of red cars. I was considering white, asphalt, and ultramarine when I was looking at FR-S's. I found a good deal on a Firestorm one though and went to check it out. It looks amazing in person, and I fell in love with the color. The only downside I see to the red, apart from being "arrest me red," is that your color options for wheels become a bit more limited. With a car that's white/black/asphalt/even shades of blue you can do the crazy wheel colors thing; it doesn't work quite so well with red.

Unless you're this S2000...

I want a set of teal SSR Professor SP1s or Work Mesiter S1s so bad.

^ Looks like poo

I think the old white is still the best. Current white is a bit too white and I prefer creamy colour.

Looks like they forgot to peel the plastic protective film off!
My wife had the blue film on her laptop for a year before it began to peel off then she freaked because it was falling apart!

All the kids with the pumped up kicks are getting whiteout

That red S2000 looks like shit.
Not because of the color, because of the dumb ass that slammed the car so low with ludicrous camber who also picked a shitty size tire to go on that rim making the lip of the rim stick out farther than the tire.

Agreed. I should have clarified that I hate the stance, but I like the color scheme.

Now that's one way to find out which color someone truly likes, lol.

lol I owned a whiteout monogram but had to trade it in for a base do to financial reasons. Dealer only had red/black base. I went with red didn't like it, and was able to get out of it back into a whiteout (base) my dealer found for me. Basically owned 3 different FRS' in the span of 4 months haha.

I'm cheap, I'll get whatever color I can get a better deal on. That being said if they are all the same price I tend to stick with black, white, dark grey. I use to say I will NEVER own a red car or a white car. I've owned both at this point and still have my red Z4M. Honestly it's grown on me and now when I see none red Z4s I think they look like shit lol. I've also become quite fond of white depending on the car. White, black and grey are my favorite colors on the FRS, if I had to pick one I would do grey like above if only for the ease of cleaning compared to black or white.
