which of the 3 colors shows its lines the best? and which looks more aggressive/sportier

lastexile1987 · 10-22-2014, 10:34 PM

Black looks the most aggressive IMO. I got red and it shows the lines the best. I know its not scientific proof but whenever a twin passes by in a color except red or white, my fiance never notices or if I point it out, she can't even recognize its a brz. And no she isn't blind lol.

Red definitely shows the lines of the car the best. White I find hides them. Black looks awesome when clean, the tricky part is that black rarely looks clean unless you like detailing all of the time.

@Janmara: You only live once. Firestorm.

What about WRB?

Not a big fan of the red as it just doesn't seem rich/vivid enough to me. I'm personally going for a white one myself pretty soon (been a long year waiting).

My take on the white is the colour makes the car look a little larger than it really is, shows the lines and is lovely if you keep it clean. Also stay's looking clean when you add body kits.

Red if you want to be different.
Black if you want to look aggressive.
White if you want to look clean.

They will ALL look sick if you tint the windows, swap the stock wheels for some black ones and color-match the lug nuts. :-)

After owning my Asphalt FR-S for a year, I've decided that there just isn't a bad color. PT Cruisers look like sh!t in any color. Our cars just kick @ss.

DAEMANO · 10-22-2014, 11:32 PM

Black - the most upscale and aggressive
Red - the sportiest and least common
White - cleanest and easiest to mod but most common.

funwheeldrive · 10-22-2014, 11:44 PM

Halo white or Firestorm. Look at them in person and decide.

dentalprodigy · 10-22-2014, 11:51 PM

Firestorm/red is my vote. Other colors are not vibrant enough and don't make the car stand out as much. Red just screams “look at me !". Every time I walk up to my car in a parking garage, lot, driveway I am glad I took the gamble and went with red. Only thing is be prepared for the extra attention from the public and cops.

I like the white, but the paint is hard to match...
I recommend Ultramarine blue... lol, if not then black

jdd · 10-22-2014, 11:58 PM

I believe white has a higher re-sale value.

humfrz · 10-23-2014, 12:50 AM

White.

Why? ...... because mrs humfrz said so .......
