I really think that black is a very classy color....****, I would love my car to be black. As far as red goes, I think it really depends on what type of red it is.

Tony,

you paint that car red and about four of us will be 'talking' to you at the next meet, outside behind the garage. Go with a darker black if anything....

Well, if money is not an issue and you want to go with red I say go for it. (It would be more expensive to paint the door jambs, under the hood, trunk. etc...)

I wouldn't do a true red on a sedan like the GS... although I think it looks good on the 2GS pictured above, I think it's because that car has a roll cage and was obviously built for racing (drifting).

I remember seeing red BMW 535s and Mercedes E320s back in the early 1990s and thinking it just was too sporty for a sedan.

That being said, I am definitely a big fan of colors... never been a big fan of black or white cars, just too subtle for me.

If you went with a color like the IS350 Matador metallic red or Spectra Blue from the 2GS... Now THAT would be killer!

I guess the question boils down to whether you want a VIP look or a show car look.

I say keep the car black. Get new rims, air suspension, bbk, and a new vip kit. Red won't flow right since I honestly think the 1st gen body only looks good in black, dark red, grey, and all white.
