What does the BRZ's WRB really look like? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Dizz1e · 05-06-2012, 07:26 PM

I'm curious about why the WRB seems to look different in various pictures.... I preordered a WRB BRZ because of pictures like these:

but then I see pictures like this:

and it looks like a completely different color....... I was wondering to the people who have actually seen the car under real lighting can tell me what it actually looks like. Cause I think the latter looks rather dull and too light of a color for me. It has me contemplating switching to Crystal Black Silica or DGM

Videos will probably give you the best mental idea of what the car will look like since you get to see it in dynamic lighting in different locations.

Because the nice pictures were taken by knowledgeable photographers with quality equipment under good lighting. The bland photos were taken in poor lighting (#3) or are over exposed(#4), and were shot on crappy cameras with janky contrast and saturation settings.

More like in these pictures, taken using DSLR, no post processing. This is the exact color I remember when I saw it in person and took the pictures.

Excellent!!!

Now only if that spoiler was delete-able from the dealership.

(Other people's opinions still very welcomed!)

Get a Premium! Or just take it off and fill it! Or Trunk Swap...

haha already pre-ordered Limited, plus I like all the other features Limited offers. Taking off and filling seems like a bitch and may not look as clean (although I've never seen it done). Trunk swap seems a bit much.

Wish I could get $400-500 towards some other part rather than the rear spoiler Im not really fond of.

Carbon fiber trunk is my vote..

Draco-REX · 05-06-2012, 10:39 PM

It's exactly the same as the WRB on the Impreza. I'm sure you can find one of those running around.

I wish we had clean lit shots of the black brz like these. It would make figuring out what to buy so much easier.

Those are two great pictures of the true WRB.

What Draco said. It's the same o2c as any other WRX. Try looking at any of these photos on different screens and the color will look different, and photos never capture the real look of a car's paint. Best to just go look at one in person.

bimmerboy · 05-06-2012, 11:17 PM

Avholic- those are probably the best pictures I have seen of WRB so far, thanks!

Any more photos of WRB or any other BRZs?

merlin2111 · 05-06-2012, 11:21 PM

WRB FTW! I am happy that it comes with the spoiler. While I dont like THIS one I do like others that are out there and already having the holes drilled will make putting on a new one a simple swap since they will more than likely make them line up.
