Did you choose this color just so you didn't have to change the front blinkers to clear ones?!?!?!

Seriously though nice choice - I'm a big fan of the bold bright colors on these cars.

Looks similar to Zanzibar red in the pictures which is an awesome color! Looks great!

I'm not usually a fan of the orange type colors, but that looks pretty incredible. Get out and enjoy it!

Thanks everyone for the compliments and congratulatory wishes! Finally got some sun today so planning to take her out and snap some more pics.

Based on my extensive online search, I don't think it has been. That's why I was quite worried about taking the gamble. No regrets now! Hopefully this inspires others to select this color in the future. I love it.

Agreed all around!

Thanks! I'm not going to touch the 1 of 1 claim, there are some really salty folks on RL when you start talking about 1 of 1 (even jokingly)! Ask me how I know...

Agree Andre. That would be an awesome comparo photo shoot. What say we road trip towards each other and meet somewhere in the midwest?

It was actually an approved PTS color. There are some good threads on RL about the PTS feasibility/approval process though.

I live in Oak Grove area, just north of Decatur. How about yourself?

I'm actually heading up to Roswell this afternoon to check out the PPF application on @sgroer 's cars. PM me if you're around and maybe we can coordinate a quick meet up.

Seemed like the most logical and economical option! Thanks!

Is there a lot of depth and luster to this paint?
I'm guessing so from all the different lighting, you're trying to capture these.

Saw this car in person today. It's absolutely beautiful in person. The pictures don't tell the story. A very unique car and it really works well!

There is quite a bit of metallic in the paint and it's very deep. Definitely has some presence!

Thanks Sean. Loved your Carrera T. Can't wait to see your 3RS and meet up for some rides. Thanks again for all of the info and advice.

Thanks! I loved Sakhir. Convinced my brother to get a Sakhir M4 too. This doesn't have any of the red that came through in Sakhir under certain lighting.
