Thanks for the info again everyone, looked at every dealer in town and went with the Ultramarine instead, of the asphalt or black. I'm loving every moment with it, even tho it's my first stick shift car.

Plus most of the 86 I seen here are either White, Black, Red or Lava. But of course I see the other colors but not as much.

I know, right? I wasn't sure at first and here's why. It's a lot of spokes. Normally, I'm not a fan of spokes - but this is like the 'perfect' spoke game in my opinion. The RE18s are REALLY what I wanted, but they didn't come in 17s nor 5x100 iirc. But the RE02s are pretty good. Then color choice was the next. They come in 4 colors, white/black/gunmetal/bronze. Right away, white/black were off the color. Black blends in too much, and white gets hella dirty. I just decided to shoot for bronze. I think on hot lava it looks tight. Just need to lower the car (have coils in the garage). Considering I don't track the car heavily (just for fun), a set of Ambit's for $450 shipped to my door, was a good buy. Hell, the tires were 1.5x the cost of the wheels lol. 255/40/17s all the way around. You can check my build log for some additional angles.

I like black cars.

Gets dirty, yes. I had mine coated with some stuff so it's shiny and easy to clean.

Be willing to travel. Don't spend more than you should, and don't overlook a car that may be in better condition, lower mileage with lower price for the sake of "that color". Just one man's opinion.
Nonsense I searched and searched for the perfect FR-S that I wanted and I finally did, it just took some patience. My must haves were:
- 2013
- Manual
- Whiteout
- Stock
- Stock Radio
- Low KM

What I got:
- 2013
- Manual
- Whiteout
- Stock
- Stock Radio
- Low KM (11,000km)
I will say I did get lucky though

I personally dislike black cars, I feel as though black takes away from the design of the car. In saying that I recommend White, Blue, or Custom Blue!

I like the way you think sir.
