I saw a red one today. It wasnt the red that you posted. It was just red. It looked hot. But with red, you know what cops look for. Red cars are kind of hard to miss. Especially a GTO. I like the cyclone. I think it looked a lot better than blue.
You get the blue, your gonna be a washin fool.

Maybe it was something to do with the bland styling of the CLS, but I do routinely drive 80mph on the highway...
I got pulled over anout 3-4 times in my white tbird...

I would add the SAP front bumper only, the sport grills and remove the wing. I think that would look pretty sweet, and a realtively inexpensive way to make the car look better.
If cash wasn't the issre i would order the CV8 front bumper.
As you can see...i've put some thought process into this

You have to go with red on red for that car. I agree with Beltfed, it's a really fun car so you should get a fun color. I think black suits a sedan a lot more than a sports car, but that's just me.

I wish it was PDG. Spice Red sounds like the color I painted the kitchen. 
I'd love the orange, and I'd love a maroony-er red, but the orangey red is just
to me.
But... it's not my car. S'okay. I'll get him back when it's time to replace the Accord. I'll get a baby-blue Mercedes or something else equally undriveable for him.

Congrats Scott.
You'll master the stick in no time.
And with that engine...it will be even easier to learn...wont bog down as easily.
