Yea, last time I asked this...it was Lightning Red or Dark Grey Metallic.

Which would you pick if it was between these two colors?

lightning red. whiteout is nice but too many on the street! R u getting GT86? Then, my friend! GT86 red is hot!

hanabie · 10-05-2013, 03:17 AM

oh hi another whiteout...

chaoskaze · 10-05-2013, 03:29 AM

whiteout is nice but there is just too many, so I vote for lighting red.

but I think gt86/frs looks better in red while brz looks better in raven/dgm

I thought that they were all the same color.

What if it was just a color vs. color not based on rarity...which would you guys vote for?

Mmm. Brz or frs? If brz, swp. If frs, yes red.

But if ur getting frs, id get series 10 if theres any manual.

Ok in term of maintainance. Whiteout is way easier than red. Red color might fade out overtime. Swirls will make u crazy just like raven/black.

Whiteout is pearlish, looking great under the sun.

I agree with hanabie. The FR-S looks good in red; the BRZ I don't feel it for some reason. I don't know if it's because I don't care for red Subies in general or because of the front bumper, but I prefer SWP in this case.

dbrandt01 · 10-05-2013, 03:09 PM

Not really bias, I have the swp in the brz. I've had a red car before and down in Alabama, the paint faded in a couple years. I like white and I constantly get people staring when I drive by.

NWFRS · 10-05-2013, 03:43 PM

Sounds like the Lightning Red was a contender both times, despite being measured against a different color each time. I think you might regret it later if you don't get Red. I agonized like mad before my own purchase. Now I don't think there is a bad color. I wanted metallic green or brown, but they told me I couldn't have those. :-(

soundman98 · 10-05-2013, 04:11 PM

i'm a sucker for any pearlescent paint job, so white get's my vote.

Khazzy · 10-05-2013, 04:17 PM

I love my SWP, but I voted LR because you do not see many around. If exclusivity is your cause, LR, if you want a beautiful color in its own and do not mind cleaning it a lot, SWP!
