waiting on gp-1 kit to come in (next friday)
and my charge speed front wide fenders (1-2 days)

then i'll be off to the body shop...full body work (entire car, dents ect) and body kit and new fenders put on for $1500...going to go with a really bright red...probably a metallic or pearlesent...and thoughts on a red?

I've always been partial to a deeper red with pearl coat in it. Kinda like a blood red.

As far as Bright reds go, I wouldn't know really what to suggest, but I'm pretty sure it would be damn sexy :thumbsup:.

I would do just like a plain red. Make sure its smooth as shit and put a nice clear coat on it. simple is the best.

I will warn you that red paint is expensive as shit...

It is supposed to make you wanna go faster, like in some europeen countries, they won't insure any car that has the word "speed" in the name, Mazda had to rename all the MazdaSpeed cars.

red is more expensive on insurance because red cars are more prone to get tickets. and i like the red in slidestars sig

wtf all that put on and a full paint job for 1500???? or is it just to put on the stuff and remove dents.......no paint included? I mean thats hella cheap if your getting it done by a shop. Almost ebay cheap, which i wouldnt trust at all.

Can't see the pic:smile:.

My girlfriend's parents have a pearl white Audi, and I agree, that's a sexy color.

I was just saying that red paint is expensive to buy. IDK about all the red cars being expensive to insure or whtaever, but my insurance didnt' go up any by getting a red car.
