This is probably for ***** n giggles because I can imagine the responses... That said I'll post it anyway.. I can't decide between red on red with chrome wheels and black on black or black on red. Any opinions? (I'm hoping to have my order placed in the next week or so). My 2008 is black on black.

I knew it wouldn't take long for a comment... No. That's a big consideration. I just like the "bad" that goes with black. in the end it's
a coin toss and I'll,be happy with whatever I get... (unless it's something other than black or red...)
Just curious tonhear what others had to say...
Thx!

I once owned a black pick up with a black shell, and though I loved it, it was verrrrrrrrry hard to maintain. I once owned a red Corvette, and even though I didn't like the color, it was a thousand times easier to keep sharp-looking!
If I had to choose between the two again (for a Vette), I think I would lose my wits (and my free time), because I do like black better, so black for me on a smaller vehicle.

I love black, nothing compares to the beauty of a clean polished black car. I hate all the time an work it takes to keep a black car looking good. White & silver are easily kept clean, red will also be easy to keep looking good

My C5 was black and after 9 years I more than had enough of the constant care it needed to look it's best. The worst part was that for the first 7 years it was my DD, making it a daily effort to keep dust and dirt at bay. I absolutely love how much easier it is to keep my C6's LeMans Blue looking it's best. When I start looking for a used C7 in a few years I hope to find one in Laguna Blue, as that looks even easier to keep clean.
