Default Magnetic VS. Torch!
I'm split on my decision between torch and magnetic red.

Show off your color, try to persuade me to your side...leaning heavily towards torch at the moment.

Also looking for magnetic with hyperblack/hypersilver wheels, i've seen them on torch but feel free to post that too..

Thanks

You cannot go wrong with either color, I happen to like the Torch Red, and I believe you will find it is a more common color and if you check on the data base, you will see that TR runs about 2.5 to 1 over Mag Red production.

My '04 is the Magnetic Red 2. Have gotten lots of compliments on the color in the 6 weeks that I've had it. Not as common as the Torch Red.
