Since this thread came back from the dead and it's a favorite of mine, I thought I would share. The license plate kind of says I'm a fan of Mag Red

Some action shots. Let the old man drive it to get some videos. How often do you get to really see your own car in action. I thought he would enjoy it as well. I think he did!!!

So would this shade be the magentic I and NOT the magnetic II since it was in 99? If so, it appears that II is more of a maroon/purple color of red. Let me know, thanks!
