Quick color change as requested to as close to Ferrari Red (aka Rosso Corsa) as I could get in a few minutes.
Also decided while I was at it to see what it would look like in old Acura colors, if they decided to keep them going.

Flanagan, thanks for the photoshop. However, I still like the Racing yellow, in the near future. I am going to hit the speed/race shop near me and paint my car with S2000 yellow and add massive pearl on the paint.
can't wait.

I bet that yellow shifter boot will make a reappearance.

traidsganster - You serious? Definitely not my thing, but it's your car...good luck with it! Be sure to post some pics, too.
I have to say, the more I see it, the blue isn't half bad...however, every time I see the red one, I want to paint mine. Out of curiosity, how much does a custom paint job cost (a good one, where they get all of the door jambs, inside the sunroof, remove the body kit, etc.)? I know the type of paint affects it, but ball park...

AdamNJ, maybe hahaha (j/k)
as in terms of how much a custom paint job will cost. I believe a racing yellow with massive pearl in it would cost me about $5000 (all the door jambs, moonroof, removing body kit, etc). Now I'm not talking about shitty paint job, i'm talking about true professionally done. $5000 is alot of cash, that is why I haven't done it yet.
I would say 99% of the people on this forum does NOT like yellow. But I love it and I almost bought a 350z because it had yellow exterior, even though my first choice was Honda S2000 (needless to say YELLOW exterior) but I'm too tall for that car. Yellow is my thing, if I had the money, I would have seriously gotten the Z06 Corvette in yellow.
I'll update you guys if I decide to have it painted yellow. Agreeing with chill_dog, the BLUE is a hot color, remind me of that New Mazda 3 exterior or the STi exterior.

I think I got it pretty close!
As far as pearl coat goes, there are different colors of pearl coat. It alters the highlight color on the paint as the angle changes. So you can have your yellow base coat with orange pearl (paint looks deeper yellow), red pearl (highlights look orange to red from certain angles), blue pearl (highlights looks greenish to blue from certain angles), white pearl (highlights are brighter from certain angles), etc. I think Honda uses a yellow pearl on top of a yellow base coat to make it "more yellow". TVR uses some really wicked pearl coats on some of their colors. But since the effect is dependent upon angle, Photoshop doesn't do a very good job of recreating the effect.
Essentially, I'm copping out of doing more color changes in Photoshop

thanks!
thanks!

Not being sarcastic at all, actually. Just quite impressed. It is definitely a sweet color. I like my 05 ABP, but I'm not sure if I would've picked the brighter blue, only cause it's a little more bold and less classy I think. Definitely worth a ton of looks though. Wish I'd get that reaction with mine, haha.

OK, OK.
My server seems to be down right now, so I'm putting these on a backup.
And just for shit and giggles, I put the TL in MY personal favorite color on a car. I call it "Ice White", it's white metal flake with a blue pearl coat:
