Need some car advice here

I am looking at getting one of three color sets on the Sky Red line. I wanted people's opinions on them before I shell out ~37k


White Sky and red Black Interior:

(only one with a fraction of tan I could find. All the Red inserts in the second image are tan inside)

Ah nice car you're picking up there.
Personally my favorite color scheme for most cars is the black exterior with dark red paneled interior, but for a sportier car like this I'd go with something brighter.
So my vote goes for the red one.

Is black an option by any chance? Black with the red black interior would look sweet imo. The green dont really interest me n the red looks sorta fake, whites allways a good colour but black is the bomb, if i did have to go with something i guess id go with the white with red black interior (metalic white if possible) but its your choice mate.

I think I have it down to these combinations:


White exterior, red and Black interior, then purchasing some black rims with chrome accent, painting the calipers a dark red

or

Red exterior. black interior, then purchasing some chrome rims and keeping the black calipers.

Going to sleep on it for the night. any input is still welcome, the green car is still a dark horse.

Normally I would agree with you on the black, however, this car does not really look good in black, imho. I saw that exact combination going in there with that being the competition for the red set-up.

The black just doesn't strike me as much as the white or red, it does not set off the lines of the car that well.

Ah k, the black you saw, was it a metallic black? coz non metallic blacks look like shit on most cars. But yea white wiht the blackred interior sounds sweet too though ive never really been a big fan of red its sorta "hey look at me n mah penis extension!" but ye you'd wanna be attracting attention in a flash car like that so yea have fun with your new car whatever the colour

The black rims would look sweet too. Mind posting what pattern rims you're gonna use?

Statistically red and yellow are noticed and pulled over by cops more than other colors. Not saying you drive badly/aggressively enough to get pulled over alot, just throwing it out there. I personally liked the green myself, then mabey the black. Though I will never own a car that has a breadbox for a trunk, I have to haul around to much gear for my job.

I dunno, this just seems like a real "California Cruiser" type of car to me, like a Lotus Elise.
I feel like if you're going to get a car with those kind of unique lines you should get it in a color that really accentuates it.

Personally the white one.

1.- White makes it look luxurious and sporty.
2.- White keeps the inside fresh.
3.- White lowers your car insurance (red is labeled sport and black luxury for insurers).

Of course the sownside is that it'll be more noticeable when it's dirty so hope you make it a routine to wash it/wax it every sunday.

The green color looks nice, just not on the Sky, specially with those wheels.
