but having a RED STi is like screaming, "pick me, pick me!!!" as you're moving through traffic. i have the rally blue and have regretted getting such a bling color more than once.

as generic as it might be, i second/third/fourth/nth the BMW #400 for the low key factor.

True, but if you paint your car any other color from factory it’ll stand out. Yea that bmw #400 color is nice but I'd rather be different. Someone already has that color. How about you pick a color that’s going to blow that bmw color off the map. Like maybe a white pearl or a deeper, grey I don’t know. Go to dealers and look at other car colors for ideas.

Do you know how many rally blue or electric blue cars there are out there? In all I've seen a PT cruiser, EVO, neon, focus, and kia with that color. That color is becoming more and more popular.

How about that 04 sti black color with gold flake? That's pretty low key
Stock is sexy.

I know cherries are red, but.. Are cherry blossoms red too?

I vote for a red/yellow plaid like on 3M Scotch cans, with a big furry racing stripe down the middle. Heck yea!

Red was my first option, but does anyone have any pictures of a red, steel grey, or a BMW Midnight Blau scooby?

I say you order some Lotus paint.

They have a couple of sick colors man.
my top 3.
Storm titanium
aubergine purple
and on the reds it's a toss up..I think I prefer the strait up ardent red over the bordeaux.

I say you go with the aubergine purple...it's like a black purple. Or the bordeaux. A nice dark red like that would be sick.
