Well look at that - sold! Kind of a relief cause I was considering this one, despite hedging on the red, and despite it being 20K or so more than the similarly equipped white/red I like.
OK, next up: Signal green, no decals, green mirrows and wing. Paint mirrors/wing and add old school decals. Big negative on the SC, red belts, yellow calipers though.

for around $400 you can replace the red belts with silver/black/yellow ... you could even probably change the door pulls also
car has Sports Chrono? - I cant make it out in the picture ...
I think this is a keeper!

I can cope with the SC for sure, and painting mirrors is no biggie either. Also no prob switching belts/door pulls, or just leave as is....not such a big deal.
I love green and I love white red. Looking at a white red with no SC and other options I am happy with. Both cars 2011 with similar miles. Green is 20K more! White is pretty much at my original budget limit. Yes, I can manage the cost of the green fairly comfortably but I'm certainly not a millionaire and either car is a huge purchase for me. Just having hard time justifying it based on color alone.
Ugh.

I think green w/yellow calipers looks better than green w/red as you start to get a "christmas" effect ... but its purely subjective

Paint wing ends, mirrors and mouth black. Don't worry about SC, almost impossible to find without it...you'll forget about it after a few drives. You'll def appreciate PCCB if you drive on street, red brakes are NOISY.
Belts are easy swap.

go white/red ... you cant loose, and honestly if you do not LOVE a PTS then you should not pay over the odds for it ... when I bought my Mex Blue car I was so enamoured of the color that I was prepared to pay for it and the options that came with the car (that I would not have specced) ...
I think you are in the opposite position ... therefore pocket the $20k and have some fun with it and get the white/red ...
my $0.02 at no cost!

when purchasing a new RS the color sometimes reflects the intended purpose.
a green, orange, mexi blue and rivi blue stand out like sore thumbs and tend to make daily use of the car in high traffic areas a little taxing....
white is always nice because it makes for good daily use and also looks good on the track and as a future stripper.
black and dark grey are evil colors and make the car look dangerous but also stealth for daily use.
the other colors are more ordinary and subtle for all types of use.
Some people like their RS in your face, others prefer calm and cool.
When these cars become 15-20 years old, it is the radical colors that will be the most interesting to own as a sunday driver and or track toy.
