'08 STi What is your favorite color and why? - Page 2

White first, the DGM. Why? White is an awesome clean color. Something about cars in white. They are just amazing.

I have also seen DGM in person. It is beautiful. I wish I had the money to repaint my STI because it would def be DGM.

WRB/gold is classic

Rootus · 04-13-2008, 01:24 PM

Gray has always been my favorite color, but for some reason I'm really liking the WRB better on the '08. Probably because the car is a lot more subtle this year and it helps to have a flash of color to bring out some personality. I'm the kind of guy who has owned several yellow sports cars in the past, so it's not a surprise that I don't want anything subtle.

^^^true.. blue is my favorite color so naturally just about every car i've owned is blue. but like i first said--that DGM looks really nice.

Just detailed my DGM today, and I definitely agree that DGM is PITA to keep it nice and clean. The stone chips and scratches are so visible....

hairlesswookiee · 04-13-2008, 03:44 PM

hey WRB isn't easy to keep clean either... and the silver BBS wheels are a PITA. more so than my old OZ Aristos. i hate dirty wheels so i clean mine every 2-3 days.

CKSTI · 04-13-2008, 04:19 PM

WRB with gold. This is my first suby, big fan of the color combo in all wrx/sti models. Second choice...Aspen White on goldies.

i did silver because it is timeless. it is also low maintenance (compared to black - hard to clean). my '05 Leg was black, and while it looked great when shined up, it was a PITA to keep clean. when i was on the lot buying my sti, i really loved the WRB. it was a bit too boyracer, but i still love it. if i had to do it again, i would do WRB. i didn't hate white, and i would never normally buy white. it seems too "old man" to me, and i don't need any help in that dept!

Should of add a poll.....

jon08sti · 04-13-2008, 05:15 PM

SPARK SILVER- Easy to keep clean, but DARK GRAY MET. looks nice clean, but I don't want up keep!

Brand · 04-13-2008, 05:43 PM

Just finished clean/claybar/wax on my car. Everyone who doesn't say DGM is the best is wrong

GotSTI? · 04-13-2008, 06:05 PM

I had an opportunity to buy a DGM and it was tied with red as my second color choice. I don't love the BBS so that may have turned me off to it. When I saw my white 08 it took about .0009 seconds to fall in love with it. It gave me that gitty feeling all over again. I loved my black 06', but it always looked dirty and scratches showed up really bad.

I don't love the Red Subaru is using. It isn't bright enough for my liking. If I am getting a red car... it better be bright red. That reminds me the EVO X looks amazing in red.

RedlineSTI · 04-13-2008, 06:31 PM

WHITE, hands down. especially with the gold BBS. i like the black too, but coming from a black car i wouldn't wanna do it all over again.

Park your car next to them first!
