Default Color configuration

I am in line to order a 2021 and looking for some opinions. Car color is Torch Red, engine color option is in Edge Red. The question is which color for the brake calipers, Bright Red or Edge Red. I have seen the Bright Red on a Torch Red car but have not seen the Edge Red, and would three reds be one too many? Thanks for the opinions.

Just my 2 cents, but the bright red calipers go with the torch red car. The intake cover matches the valve covers. Go with bright red calipers.

Bright red calipers and adrenaline red interior are the coordinating colors for Torch Red. Edge red is burgundy and coordinates with Long Beach Red. I have no clue why they picked edge red for the valve covers on every single car. Should have left them aluminum or done bright red.

I’m not even usually a red car guy but I’m loving mine in red. Bright red calipers for me. They go well with the Torch Red. Mine is wrapped in Avery Carmine so it’s a little more red but you get the idea...

Different Reds can be a problem! I'd pick Yellow or save money and get Black. No way I'm getting a non matching red engine cover with my LBR! Hope there is an aftermarket engine cover that also hides the red valve covers!

To Each Their Own.

Prefer Black or a contrasting BUT "not" close color!
