Arrow BLACK or WHITE????

Black is a very slick, sinister, classy, masculine, etc...color of choice for a suby. White on the other hand is clean and doesn't get as dirty as black and scratches and debris from rocks do not show up as much. and all that other stuff.

What should i go with, black or white???

Please give me pro's and con's of these two colors please!! from swirls, to scratches and easily seen debris, etc.......

i dont think anything looks better then a nicely dropped white impreza with no wing on either gold wheels or black wheels. black does look good, but its such a pain in the *** to take care of.

Let's admit it...straight out...both cars have issues staying clean.
Overall I'd say white, as it is easier to hide imperfections than on black.
For looks....It's a draw. Both look awesome if done right.
White is cooler temperature wise, as black retains heat....

For me, for practicality reasons (aka lazy when waxing) White would be the choice.

Good luck deciding. (BTW. I have a WRB 02 Wagon)

I like black. They just have that mean dark look. One of the nicest subies I've seen in person was black, but I'm sure you can make either color look nice.
For some reason here in So Cal, white subies are prone to accidents. I can't even count how many white subaru owners have either totalled their cars or have been in bad accidents. Maybe these guys just dont know how to drive, I dunno.

LOL...this guy..cop suby hahahhaha..it'll look like a panda too. black was my first option and people always say to go with your first choice, which is black. i also got rota royal black downshifts, and i think the contrast between the color black of the car and the wheels being black w/ chrome lip sets the picture for me.

and also what tygerstyle said, they give it that mean look which appeals to me noticeably bout black..more sinister like.

Black w/ Black/Machined wheels look VERY SICK

BLACK for me

I do realize why you like white though... The muscles of the Subie are a lot more apparent, and the openings in the front appear black... and on silver and white cars, they stand out more... because we all know air/intake holes look ****ing aggressive... and on a black car its harder for onlookers to appreciate the cars subtleties and its styling...

But this is how I've always set up my cars...

Always been black on black on black on black (and for good measure: on black)... I've always kept the exterior near stock, no body kits, or other bull****... Dark tints and slapped on a clean set of black wheels with a machined lip and lowered of course, but that goes with suspension mods... And the rest of my money went into engine/suspension mods Its a nice to drive a low key car, with a classy touch, and know that even though you arent on the pedal hard... Its ***** are hanging nice and low

Granted it's not a Scooby, (I'll be picking up an 06 WRX in about a year) but here is my current '03 Mustang GT, just to give you an idea of my setup...
