Default Ultrasonic Blue Mica or Matador Red ????

Well I'm bout to get my IS repainted and I'm torn between the two. To be honest I've said I'd never own a red car and I hate blue cars but I have fell in love with the Matador Red and the Ultrasonic Blue. Neither are just a plain old red or blue though so I guess thats why I'm considering the two. The Matador caught my eye and I thought my mind was made up and then I saw the Ultrasonic and was dead set on it. Then I saw a close up of the Matador and saw it has like a gold flake/metallic. I'm having to go off of computer pics as there are no IS-F's around in a reasonable distance that I can find anyways so I cant really go to see it in person.

I want to hear your opinions on both and hopefully someone can snap me a pic of the Ultrasonic in the sunlight up close so I can get a better idea. I'm to the point where I'm ready to just flip a coin and cross my fingers!!!!

My wife likes the red and, therefore, I like the red.

Maybe a bit of Photoshop's contrast and brightness, but nothing more. I was very happy with this pic, coz' I finally could capture the candy effects (on the wheels arches)...

Yeah thats exactly what I'm looking for! I've looked at several IS250s on autotrader here locally and they dont look the greatest. Is there a different color? Like regular Matador red then the matador red mica possibly? I'll look but they just weren't the best pics either. I really love that pic though.

I believe this is only one color "Matador Red Mica", it just that the candy is very hard to photograph

I'll throw in some for USB. Just took these yesterday. I detailed the car over the weekend. The lighting was a mixed bag. It was partly cloudy and partly sunny.







You can see the rest here:

Thanks!! I was hoping someone would do this asap. I'm at work and they block Photobucket pics so I'll have to check it at home.

I think both are great choices, the only benefit of the blue that it is unique to the ISF
