Question Black or Blue?

I'm getting an '03 WRX, which is better? Black or Rally Blue? I just feel like the Blue is too cliche for an Impreza...opinions?

Well if you want to be cleaning it every 2 minutes, get black. If you want your car to look like someone took a shotgun to the front of it after awhile, get blue(although I suppose black would show the same from rock chips, too). Ofcourse, I'm just speaking from past experience of other peoples rides. I purchased a silver car for the sole purpose of hiding the rock chips better, considering I do alot of backroads driving. Paint is all a preference..get what suits you best.

I had the same problem in chosing either black or blue. but I went with wrb. As for the problem with paint chips, you can solve it buy getting a good clear bra for the front end of your car. I had Omega Tint Werks do mine and it looks great and has protected my front end from paint chips. A lot of guys who track their cars regularly have done this too for the same reason. Good luck making the decision.

Get MBP. Like the others said, there are a ridiculous overabundance of WRBs lol.

White is nice too.

Silver is most practical.
Blue looks good but shows chips
Black looks good but shows dust.

I've got blue. After 4 years of Tahoe trips it looks like someone peppered the front with white aerosol. I love the colour, but it shows every scratch, chip etc because of the white undercoat.
