Rare 2nd Gen TL color

Am I the only one here with a Redondo Red TL?
And no its not Firepepper Red, Its a deeper color, more of a maroon.
How many people have even heard of it?

I always thought the 02-03 TL's in the "red" (I put it in quotes because it's more burgundy) was called Redondo Red Pearl, however everyone else seems to think its Firepepper Red.

Yeh they had RRP for the 03 TL-P's i think, obviously being quite rare.

Straight from my 2003 TL Dealer brochure

"Beginning with August 2002 production, Desert Mist Metallic replaces Naples Gold Metallic and Redondo Red Pearl replaces Firepepper Red Pearl".

^^^ Does this mean it's time to add DMM and RRP to the 2nd Gen Photo Gallery section? Might as well clean it up with all the upgrades and stuff happening.
