Pic Request -Chili Red, Pepper White, and Dark Silver

Trying to get ideas for MCS configuration and would appreciate pictures of Chili Red, Pepper White, and Dark Silver; but would prefer those with:

Black Top/black side mirrors
Black Bonnet Stripes or Sport Stripe
Driving Lights
No Aero Kit
Standard Bonnet Scoop

It doesn't have driving lights, so here's a view that meets all your criteria. I actually took the picture to show the Route 66 sign in the background. Good luck in your quest!

Did you consider the bonnet or sport stripes at all? Was actually set on those, but really like too how yours looks with no stripes at all on it.

If i wouldnt have gotten the DS, Chili Red was second. I just like the darker paint. Also it hides dirt incredibly well...always looks clean. Ive got the aero so i wont post pics lol. The black top is great...makes the sunroof (if your getting it) unnoticeable

well just as much as any black paint lol. its just in a noticeable spot. I for one am very picky about detailing so it happens to bug me...its also hard to wax/polish/ect that paint because the sunroof is right there... the sunroof has a sort of felt-material seal which you do not want to get products on.

Not quite, but sure do like the way that looks.

Is that the JCW Mesh Scuttle?

agree with iwashmycar, the black can swirl, but so does every other paint color ever created (black just shows it more). But then on the other side, when black is clean, it reflects every other color, so it looks fantastic in my mind

I did not consider the stripes, I like the cleaner look. Plus I can add them any time if my taste changes ......
For instance I spent yesterday blacking out my chrome, not yet complete, but I did get the grill surround, headlight rings (might go back and repaint them red), side markers and tailight trim. Tomorrow the beltline, not sure what to do about the door handles.

Looks great! Can you post some non shaded pics when you get a chance?

From the ones I have seen so far, don't think I like the bonnet stripes with the Driving Lights...the sport stripe seems to work better; at least for the PW.
