personally, i would do all black if i was buying for myself...

being that the wife is a makeup artist and into colors...i think the best color combo is the red with black roof, then the red flares, etc painted to match the rest of the body, tint the windows, black 18" rims with a fine red stripe along the outside dia. of the wheel...big brake kit with red Stoptech calipers peeking through, blacked out headlight rings and scoop...black mirrors, lowered, yeah...that would do it for her. I might even get **** the night i give her the keys.

The Black Arches look good in black too I thought about painting the whole aero kit and even photoshoped it...decided not to color match and stick with the black. If I had a red roof I probably would have done it.

Its actually twincharged (supercharger plus turbo charger) When means it will probably overheat fast. Probably why it isnt going for much. Plus the miles do kill it.
