They added this to the page: “Description This vehicle is not for sale. Display only Unit.”

It was painted black sometime last year. Sometime between when the photo I posted was taken at the beginning of the year and when MP had it the first time at the end of the same year. I suspect the front air intake surround was originally Guards Red as Customization Package DZJ probably only painted the wheels, mirrors, and rear wing end side plates black. Leaving the front air intake surround in the standard Guards Red color.

I could live without the radio, but I think PCCB’s would do a lot for this car especially in this color.

Yep strange it wasn't optioned with the PCCB. The red lip stick seems like an oversight during the ordering process. I thought you could also get that in black per DZL?
