Interesting, that's quite the paint scheme, not one I would pay for.

Just came across this thread. Looks like car is still for sale at quite a high price. Can't say I love it but not sure I hate it either. On the fence. Still way better than the Riv blue/red that was at Beverly Hills.

What's with the yellow belts are red door pulls. For $180K and all those exclusive options, Porsche can't match that up?

How much does it cost to change belts/door pulls? I've thought of losing the red belts/pulls in my green car with yellow calipers...but I'm sure the cost will outweigh the (purely aesthetic) benefits.

Why? Blue is great, but with orange not good.

Paint the wheels black, remove the decals, wrap the mirrors, lips and spoiler ends (in black), ask for a discount, and it will be ok! (did I miss anything?)...

No, you pretty much summed it up perfectly.
Maybe make the door pulls and seatbelts black..

I, for one, like. For some reason, my tastes go against the grain. Would only change the front lips to blue and the belts to black, including the door pulls

Agree....convert the orange to black. For some reason the less bold Gulf blue works better than the Riviera with the classic look. Riviera or Mexico with black trim is phenomenal.

Love it too, but more with black wheels and trim.
