Dark Gray or World Rally Blue? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

squelchy451 · 08-18-2018, 01:48 AM

Found two used models in my area. Mileage and price are within ball park of each other, pretty much comes down to color.

Dark gray advantages--
1. More of a sleeper look

2. Blue advantages
1. I don't like the sparkliness of the dark gray
2. Traditional Subie color.

If I could have it any way, I'd have chosen a gloss, non-pearl white. The dark blue oceanic looks nice but overall prefer the Subaru design.

So, does anyone have one of these two colors? Happy with your choice?

I've bought and sold many cars in my time. Here's the best advice I can give you is to go see both cars in person. Some times seeing them in person will cast them in a light than photos couldn't. You may also find the paint on one is in better shape than the other.

Beyond that, I've find having a neutral paint color is more useful when choosing wheel colors. It allows for a greater number of colors and styles to match without clashing.

I have the dark grey, i love it but damn can you how dirty the car is.
one down side i found is body kits if you're thinking of doing body kits WRB i think would be easier to match with black or CF or paint match, im running a fiberglass with gloss black and you cant tell its black till you're up close.
but at the end of the day im happy with it all
just be sure its something YOU'RE happy with

I had a dark gray BRZ before I traded it in for a blue BRZ tS. You can't go wrong with either color.

Well dark grey is a traditional Subie color too.

So is black.

nikitopo · 08-18-2018, 08:16 AM

WRB or CWP. Basic colors (non-pearl) are for fleet vehicles.

Here's my vote; it's just so many colors in one!

Semiihcircle · 08-18-2018, 08:42 AM

I have grey, its pretty cool when its clean, I wish i got the blue the i was convinced by others that i would get bored of it. so i got grey and kind of regret now.

But now my overall theme is to add black out everything, so it looks pretty cool

CB750F · 08-18-2018, 09:22 AM
