WR blue is ugly. i'd say silver, but if ya have an opportunity to change the color, make it something new. Its more fun. I think a black with a red tint, like the svx, would look nifty.

I like the blue, you just gotta keep it clean and the car together.

The cheapest would be the original color or a few shades different as the jams don't need to be painted, so I say to go with the newer silver.

For any color, I like the kind of red the old Maseratis used to have in the fifties - like oxygen depleted blood red (red with black tint, not blue like burgandy). For some reason there don't seem to be any cars that come in this, though I'm not sure how it would look on a Legacy. A little different to a 300S.

Personally I'd like a real dark silver or dark metallic grey (almost gunmetal). I think that would look super sharp.

I second ^ that. Dark grey/gunmetal/charcoal would look best. Subaru Canada had a color like this that I would like to do if and or when I get the car painted. I can't recall the name of it though.

keep it stock, and maybe add a blue pearl. You could keep your doorjams and engine bay the same, and really make it look spiffy that way. :)

I chose original silver. The only problem with changing the colour of your car is making the whole thing match. Examples: inside of the hood, edges of the doors, inner sills! Made this mistake before... :roll:
