Default Color observation

Now that I FINALLY have my coupe running again and have only been driving it, I have noticed how many more people comment on it than my vert. I get so many more looks and "Nice Car"'s from people now than before. I also think it has to do with the hood art as I see people making their hand like how it is painted and showing it to who they are walking with. I guess Red is a much more visible and attention grabbing color than Black....whoda thunk it?

I love chrome bnumper verts (who doesn't!) but the coupes have a totally different look to them...a bit more aggresive IMO.

What is on your hood?

Colour really draws attention! Your red looks like a real eye catching colour. In here near the north pole convertibles are so rare that they always get more attention, but I think that in Hawaii convertibles are not an exception so it's not really eye catching itself... :smash:

Girls/women typically say "I like the color of you car!" or "I like your car!".
