Was ordering whiteout a mistake?
Sometimes I look at the white, and think I made a mistake. Does anyone have the definitive picture of a production white, that will reassure me I made the right choice.

All pictures are going to skew color a bit. I would just go down to a Subaru dealership and take a look at any of the white cars on the lot. Its the same color.

When the first 86 group was in Long Beach test driving the FR-S, we were given the option to change colors and transmissions from our previous choices.
Of the folks who changed colors, the overwhelming majority changed to Whiteout. The pearl is quite gorgeous. |

all the pictures suck, I urge you to go find one in real life. White literally blew my group @ the first86 trip away. Several people switched from black and blue to white on the spot.

Thank you I feel better already.
I was watching videos last night, and looking at pics today, and the white looks kind of boring looking. But if you guys think in person its amazing I believe you. I have not seen one in person so........

My suggestion is to get asphalt or firestorm. They can really grow on you.

I agree. I don't like white cars of any way, shape or form, and I loved the color. It has a very rich depth to it. Honestly, I kinda wish the red had the same pearl look to it, although that might make it look too much like a bowling ball.

Whiteout or Black are the best colors, but none of them you can go wrong...There is a lot of black trim on this car so White and Black colors set it off good.

I understand. I did tell them I really didn't care what color it was. I was telling the truth. If they called today and had one available, I really wouldn't care what color it is. Ill take what ever is available.

I've seen all the colors in person. All the colors were great. Only color, I didn't really care for was a silver.

After seeing almost all colors in person, I liked them all Honestly, not a bad color in my book. The cars looked great in all colors and I personally went with Whiteout, so I am biased Hhaha I've had 3-4 white cars and 3 blk/dark cars..I like white hides scratches Best!
