Chosing a color will make me crazy

[K2wings]

Alright, hi guys, I'm new here. I live in Canada, Québec. (Yeah main language here is french, so I might sound a little weird with my second language).

So here's the deal, Ive been looking at FR-S pictures and videos for over 2-3 weeks now. I still can't decide what color to take.

A few day ago, I ended up my choice on the firestorm, but then.. they called me saying "they have no red fr-s". If I want a red FR-S, I'll have to wait months. If I take a black one, I could have it in the next few days.

Black is nice, but I don't want to wash it every 2 days, I'd hate that. White is kinda the same, it looks dirty after 2 days. Blue is too dark, lava is nice, but I fear I might get bored of it. So this leave red right?

But then.. I never saw it in real life. I only saw the black and blue one (which both looked awesome of course, but they were both clean).

What to do! I know you can't really help me out on this, but I guess I'm just going crazy lol. I don't want to wait 3 months, but then, I don't want to spend 30 000$ on a color I might regret taking.

What would you do?

Did you mean "frs color regret"?

To OP:
If you like red, I recommend wait for red.
You might need to wait for months, but you get to enjoy it for years.

Red means you're going to attract everybody from supped up civics to 370z's trying to race you and even cops.

I think the best advice is don't decide on a color or rule out others until you've seen it in person. I never thought about black but then seeing it in person was a whole different story. You might not like the red - it's not 100% accurate what you see in pics and vids.

yes

What I did is try to use objective reasons rather than leave it to the subjective. Silver just made objective sense:

--it's almost as reflective as white (from a heat retention perspective)
--consensus opinion is that silver requires the least amount of work to keep it looking objectively "clean" -- I've had black twice and will not own it again
--consensus opinion is that silver is kind of boring, doesn't attract racer or LEO attention, or dazzle onlookers, which at my age is JUST FINE
--I've had an RX-7 and a Stealth R/T TT and plan to own a Porsche or two in the future and for those I can go with my gut a little more as far as color, but the FR-S is kind of a stopgap "practical" or "economy" car for me

My reasons might be different from yours and you might come to a different conclusion if you try to go objective. I'm just saying it's a way to go if you can't decide (and given the maelstrom of chemicals, life cycle cells, and electrical impulses that is the human mind, subjective truth is an elusive and frustrating concept even within one's own self).

I was in your situation too, I would go with Whiteout, Asphalt, or Argento, or Ultramarine. I I ordered mines in Asphalt.

[KlafKoon]

For me, when I was deciding on the color of the car I wanted, I had to see them all in person first. I was torn between whiteout and ultramarine. Seeing them in person compared to pictures I felt was almost as different as night and day. Very few pictures do the car justice in my opinion and seeing it in person is a must. This was very apparent to me when I saw the hot lava in person. Looks much better than it does in the pictures. Looked so good that I am now a happy owner a hot lava FRS! In the end though, which ever one you do pick, you'll end up with a great car

I understand I'll seem biased in my opinion stated... But I also drove myself crazy as I was having last minute thoughts on the color after my heart was already set on Firestorm from the very beginning.

And now that I have my color of choice... I can say that I would've sincerely regretted choosing anything over Firestorm.

It's just that my personality and mind go with Firestorm... Although all color choices are superb in their very own way.

I would wait it out if your heart's set on Firestorm... Or search other dealers in your area to see if they can do any better on getting in that colored FR-S quicker for you.

All the best.

[SuperDave]

all the colors are awesome....except argento/silver...except on a BRZ. i test drove a Silver FRS and almost went home with it....till I saw a white out..good god that was beautiful, firestorm too!

[MVJ1975]

I concur with seeing them in person first. As mentioned, the Hot Lava looks amazing in person.

I initially had my heart set on Firestorm, but when I saw it in person I wasn't as impressed. I was really hoping for a metallic red like the concept. Ended up with the Ultramarine and couldn't be happier.

[Neziah]

Silver and white actually do pretty well with dirt if your worried about the darker colors being too much work. I think Red and Orange are two colors you need to love to be happy with. The best advice is to go see them in person.

An argento FR-S looks good on the dealership lot. I saw the first FR-S on the road a few weeks ago.

I just happened to notice it. It blended in with all the other cars in traffic. That can be good for some people but if you want to get noticed hold off on the color you want.

[pr086]

having the same trouble, theres not that ONE color that this car is associated with or just seems right for the car.

personaly i'm deciding between whiteout, asphalt, and argento. only have seen whiteout in person
