When I bought the car it was repainted by the PO. Its suppose to be cinnabar red, but the color is a little brighter then original.

The paint job was horrible, and after a whole bunch of wetsanding buffing compounding this was the final result. Paint still have some imperfections but overall looks a million times better from when i bought it

Its a replica lip. Even the spoiler and roof spoiler are reps.

looks like the driver side corner of your front lip, near your wheel, was mounted a little low. Besides that nice car

jadu-

thanks...the color looks different in different lighting. I took pic earlier from my phone when i mounted the wheels and it looks more marroon. I have grown to like the color.

The lip is a rep. The reason it looks like the is because the center is pulled up a little for mounting purposes. The lip sagged in the center so we used some black apoxy the hold it on the body. Got a little to high in the center, but I dont mind it. I am surprised its held up this long :P

I've never been a fan of red cars, but one of the things I asked you specifically yesterday Rehm, was "Is that Cinnabar?" Your car looks great man! I can't say I'd consider another makes rims on my whip, but the Cinnabar pulls it off homie! Nice job... see you in the morning so I can help you pay for them megans!
