GREAT color. Crystal Red and Magnetic Red also look good. There was a picture on the forum a while back of all three colors next to each other. You can't go wrong with any of them.

Everyone who sees my car up close always comments on what a nice color it is.

It looks GREAT on the 81. Better than it does on the c6, which is saying a lot.

I agree. I get a lot of compliments on the color. The building is not occupied, so don't get upset with the parking (ha ha).

I have that same color on my 2008. Get a lot of comments. She actually is a beautiful machine. I love the gold flake somehow mixed into the red.

I believe you have Crystal Red, not Monterey Red. 2007 was the last year they offered the Monterey Red Metallic. Check you glove box door for all the RPO codes and you most likely will see the U89 paint code, not the U80. Both colors are great and very close. The CRM is just a little lighter then the MRM.
