I've got a Halo on order. I'm really not liking the black wheels and black mirrors in these photos. I'll be curious to see how mine looks with the silverish 17" wheels and I'll look into having the mirrors painted.

These look good but I think I still prefer the Whiteout. I think it has a bit more depth to it.

I’m kind of a fan of that combo, especially after putting on the tint which I haven’t got done yet.

I don’t know man. When this thing is in the sun it POPS. My wife wasn’t thrilled with me getting white but when she saw me leave in it she says it looks amazing.

Alignment is currently set at -3.3 front and -2.8 rear with 0 toe. The front fenders and rear quarters have not been rolled or modified at all. The vehicle is not set super low to allow for sufficient stroke on track.

Any issues with rubbing?

I kind of agree. I picked mine up a few weeks ago. Trying to figure out what I do like more has been difficult. I ordered some Konig Countergram's today keeping the black center but hoping the machined lip does it for me. Not real confident though!! Fingers crossed fitment is good and color is good.

I'm having the bronze GR wheels installed at the dealer. I'll check around the Denver area for someone who can vinyl wrap the mirrors in a matching white. Might have the roof panel chrome wrapped while I'm there. It's become a popular thing in the van world to reduce solar gain.

I saw a new white BRZ today while driving. That's a different white than the Toyota, right? Flatter, no pearl?

I honestly don’t know. This is a beautiful color but I might have taken a plain white if given the choice. Based on nothing but looking at it, I am afraid to run this through the car wash with brushes. I am afraid one trip through and there might be swirls for the life of the car? I sure hope someone proves that to be unfounded!

I don’t care what color you have, you should never use a (touch) car wash or brush.

I appreciate what you say and very true if expect to keep a finish pristine. For me…very much vehicle dependent. My 2018 Rubicon, ran it through much worse than the brushes in the car wash and paint seemed hard and never showed any marks. My BMW M was purchased low mileage and had terrible cuts in the clear coat when I got it. My wife’s plain white E class, looks mark free after many washings. This one, will never see brushes.
