jarrod Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Looking at getting a limited lgt in May..wondering if people out there that owned black and silver lgt's were happy with their colors. I'm afraid black might fade and may not look as good as silver would in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilMet14 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I chose silver and I'm lovin it. Doesn't show dirt and still shines like new when washed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawGT Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Looking at getting a limited lgt in May..wondering if people out there that owned black and silver lgt's were happy with their colors. I'm afraid black might fade and may not look as good as silver would in a few years. I was likewise torn b/w black and silver. Saw a black one at the dealer and could notice swirl marks on the paint, esp the hood. at the DEALER! Chose the silver. It looks awsome. Very happy with it, zero regrets. Looks clean longer and phenomenal when cleaned and waxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtguy Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Silver. All day. Black will drive you insane. It looks great for the ten seconds after you've washed and waxed it, and it hasn't moved. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmm def Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Silver...I didn't wash my car for 4 months other than the 24hr pressure washer(woops) still looked clean, washed it last night, wow does it look good. I agree with the black comments, it looks amazing when clean but only stays that way for 5 min. I had a black car once, never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy05 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 +1 on Silver too .. plus, I am not too fond of the green flake on the black car. I wished they would have made it the same as the WRX STi's using the gold flake ... green, yuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewster Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 don't listen to silver owners they don't know what they're talking about... here's proof that black looks good for at least 2 hours after washing... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/urabus/subaru/ob4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy05 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Now if they would have had a white one, in black leather and 5-spd ... I would have jumped all over it .. but being impatient, Silver worked out just fine for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrod Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 Yea my dad has an 02 Chevy truck that's black...the paint already looks a bit faded on it...my sister has a silver mazda 6..its has a more refined look that i like...black just looks sportier and more aggressive i think. I like the white too but my mom has a white 2.5i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Silver - it's faster I disagree http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/xenonk2828/GT-Car/keefe-3.jpg Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTCanada Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I have silver. Like it. But, I have had an attraction to white with black leather lately. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gire Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I know the question is black vs. silver but I got the white as I thought the silver wagon was a little too plain-looking. White just spoke to me in a much stronger way while at the dealership looking at all of them. Don't get me wrong, I've had two black cars in the past and absolutely love black on a car, but I was tired like all the others with the endless cleaning and blemishes that are so noticable after time- and I used to work at a car detailer as a teen, so detailing is in my blood! Black is best- for about a day, silver hides all the things that make black a pain. White hides stuff too and is much less common on the road nowadays than silver.

abakja1 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 SOA just needs to step up and offer better color choices,..Black is the meanest, nicest, awesome color that they offer as Ive seen it on the LGT and WRX, but it is a pain to maintain,..I would get this color since they dont offer a WRX red or dark Grey,... Silver and White are too plain Jane for me, and the Red they offer is a little to dark,... I think for a large sporty type car, they need to make more aggressive colors available like the WRX blue, and WRX dark grey they have as the Regal Blue and other blue is ok, but not my first choice,.. Guess Im trying to say is that other than black, white and silver, the other colors just dont match the LGT's personality,... my 2cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownBoy Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I actually was torn between the black and silver myself. I chose the Silver. Unless you wash your car every other day or so, or at least once a wk, black is gonna be a pain to keep clean. Everyone says the Legacy's silver is plain, but I just came inside a while back from some sunny a** weather, and the silver was showing its flakes too...It really does have that metallic flake in it; the silvers just have smaller flakes than the black ones do. That is why the black is more attractive at first glance, in my personal opinion. But hey, your gonna drive the car, and go stare at the two side by side, see which one stays in your mind, I know thats what i did:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenzo Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 nothing says stealth like black. gotta love those green metallic flakes as well. The flakes in mine look green, blue, and yellow depending on how the light hits it. Cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt_ltd Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 pearl white makes the front bumper look smaller, or better. This Space For Rent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black99RTrc Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 get black and invest in ZainoBros show car polish, you'll love it. If you dont mind washing your car every 5 days or so. Black is real tough, but worth the effort. http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/10/web/610000-610999/610085_58_full.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 if you get black, you dont have to worry about that color-coded bumper support in the lower grille. To me, it just kills the car.. that's why I got black over white and red. Not a fan of pearl additives unless it's a shaded darker color. So Pearl white is out of the question. The Sedona Red isnt appealing enough for me, I need the old 1999 Rio Red (think brighter red) for a sports sedan. The blues are not world rally or SUPER BRIGHT EXOTIC BLUE.
