Your post reflects that your mother apparently didn't raise you properly. And I'm sure we all don't have your impeccable taste. Thank you for the contribution.

Red car with yellow brakes (or the opposite), have always been a marginal combo for me. I think the wheels in all black would have looked better and saved a probably ridiculous custom painting charge. Then again, if you don't have to compromise...

personally, i don't particularly care for the color combo. the red body itself is striking. it would get a speeding ticket parked. red and yellow however always reminds me of ketchup and mustard. as for the wheels for me, black wheels do little but hide their form and sculpture. The paint job however looks to be terrific quality.

Because he didn't like the color combo? I didn't realize we all have to agree on an Internet forum. Is that the norm?

Red stands out enough and matching the wheels is a bit overkill. Other colors lend themselves to look good, but red never seems to work. The yellow calipers are too much of a contrast for me. Leans into Ronald McDonald territory.

I'm not sure why there is an option to have painted trim in a 911? Unless, of course, it was something subtle like piano black. I guess the same "kids" that painted their Civic Si interior trim now grown-up, have great jobs, more money, and still questionable taste. To each is own...I guess.

I like it but I wouldn't buy it myself. Nice to look at but a little too "showy" for me.

You want to know what a real criminal is? It's the son of a b!tch who painted this car, that's who... Can you imagine defacing a work of art like this with a color like that? The guy ought to have his *** removed.
