I was washing the car today, and I took some terrible photos for some reason. However, I think the close-up of the door handle really shows off the metallic flake to the paint!

^^ Terrible photos would have been with you in a matching red speedo bending toward the bucket for more suds with flip slops with socks....These are actually quite nice to show the metallic flakes

I am so captivated by the red, even though I never owned a red car, I still feel this is the nicest red I have ever seen, shows the lines of this car so beautifully!! And I know I have said this before but wish there would be more of these wheels, too many BBS's IMO. I wish I could see these in the flesh, I found the 2022 a bit too light for my liking but curious how these look in person. I find the 350 wheels in Canada are a perfect balance in color and why I installed them on my 500.

Agreed this red is something else. Last night I saw an Infrared 21+ IS350 in traffic on the freeway and wow does this color pop at night especially with all the city lights. My favorite view of this car is from the back but slightly angled like if you were behind one in traffic one lane over

Here's a few more from today, being 22C degrees and all, and the vehicle clean.

These darker Enkei's sometimes appear darker, sometimes appear lighter.

Nice bright day to show off the Infrared! I probably would have preferred Enkei's too. Depending on lighting, the BBS wheels tend to just disappear .

Tony and I were reunited today for some twisty-roads fun with a couple others from the club.
