Why did you buy the color you did? - Page 7 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Agent_86 · 12-16-2013, 06:27 PM

I wanted white, but I got Asphalt. Asphalt was originally my 4th choice in color. So why did I get ? Well, i got it from a private seller that only had it for 5 months. I was able to run away with it at a great price! After all my mods, it looks beautiful!! The color not only grew on me, it has became my favorite. I still really love this car in white tho. It sounds like you may want to go with a lighter color if you want attention. Dark cars tend to blend in the background. It's funny though how many people look at the color and ask, "Is that black or gray?". I also always get, "Is that really a Toyota?" Haha

Since the cars look great in all offered colours and some colours are unique, it made sense to me to get one of those colours. Had I gotten a BRZ it mos def would have been WRB. I actually do like Hot Lava the best of all though; bonus that I didn't have to wait for it.

* in a good way but shouts nonetheless

Pearl white glows in the sunlight and hides scratches. I would really like the silver from the 10 series though.

This about sums it up for me.

I had a black STi before hand, and got sick of how fast it got dirty, and how well scratches showed. Plus, I've always loved white, since you can run a crazy amount of colors with it and it'll look good.

Just come away from a Magma Orange Farenheight Edition GTI. Wanted something less conspicuous.

Once you go black you never go back.

The Chevy should have stripes, too.

White, and the lighter colors in general, seem to show all of the interesting body contours and details a little better. I also like that it's the traditional JDM race car color and would add red wheel center caps to complete the theme.

What are those wheels??? white is the best color but those wheels are weid!

Here in Puerto Rico you can go to a gathering and you will see a lot of black and red FRS, couple of whites and gray, less blue ones, but just one Hot Lava mine!!!!!
