I have a few of these in my cars and I have always gone with the factory color. I don't think they would look right with it being different than that. jmho.

Thanks Seth

I'll follow this routine when I give it a lick of paint.

Here's a pdf on the plastic stuff Joe.

Also thanks for the photo pixelpusher. Although I think it doesn't look bad I decided to just go stock red.

I love the red but the black grill flunked the test!

My 2Cents.

Just a reminder if I chose the black grill it would be going on a 2-tone red/black svx.

I have the "burgundy looking" 92. A great color. My "liquid silver" is my 92 favorite color but of the 2, the "burgundy looking" one is the one that I get all the compliments about.

My goal is to someday find a later model, low mileage red, all red!

Meeting people on the roadway in traffic, the black grill would be obvious. Not a good thing.

I still like your "all red" decision best!

Take care,
Keith
