Hi, Hi, Im new. . .Not sure if Im posting in the right place.
Future coupe owner (by this wkend) been at a search for a good deal & my perfect colors since October.

Here's my story - Finally got a good deal, & asked them to locate metallic slate w red interior bc thats all I was obsessed with & couldnt find. . . now the same day the guy calls that they found it & its coming in, I see the crimson black in another showroom and I may be more in love with that (still haven't seen the slate/red in person btw, or the crimson in daylight) -
the dealer, happens to have a crimson black also, same car. . .so I can now just grab either. . I'm so torn.

So heres where Im just asking for opinions - :bang :rotz: Which is hotter? im a female if it matters
Link to Pics below (they wouldnt post here) just ones I pulled from the web, no rights, theyre not mine.
Thanks!

I say black, not really feeling the slate with red. Unless you match your outfits to it...

Slate... Not a fan of the red seats but whatever works.

I will say I do like the black crimson as well but slate barely wins out.

lol - wow wow wow, Im not really an orange or pink car girl . . .plus with my record, I need LESS attention from cops, not more!!

but thanks everyone so far!! Appreciate all the feedback! Dk about matching my outfits to the car lol maybe if I was rolling, I could match my cars to my outfits, but unfortunately I'm not at that level. . wah wah

Might stick w my slate & red, which I do love bc it gives that different twist to it. . ev1s different though,
I guess I'll just see when I get down there in person - sure the guy will want to kill me if I switch, but not like that price wasnt padded in his favor.

P.S. John, I actually started off for a 3.5 White Frost w Charcoal but just weren't any. . wound up moving twds the slate when I test drove it.
:)

I will def post pics when I get it. . still appreciate opinions!

Black with red interior sounds HOTT!!

i would recommend the crimson black. it looks sick in person. i was gonna get the blue (azure blue, im not sure) but when i seen the crimson it just took my attention away from the blue.
But no matter what choice you go with you'll love it.

LOL you can dream huh? azure blue doesn't add any power, but i'm fairly certain you do lose power w/ winterfrost :chuckle:

i still say slate, because it kinda looks like it changes colors with the sunlight at different angles.

Ooo, crimson with black rims wld probably be sick. . :iconeek damnit!! This isnt helping.
-love the diff interior of the slate, more i look at the crimson the more i like it, but still havent seen it in person, got to get to a dealer & check it out so I can tell this guy which car to prep!! My dealer is actually pretty far from me, so I dont want to get down there & tell him then that I changed my mind. . .and its rainy here so i cant even see it in the sunlight.

Cops are the other part of the equation, literally NO room for any problems at ALL, im on probation right now. . ;)
I probably hold a record for points, one ticket & im license-less. My last car: a black acura which seemed to attract cops to me like a @$#% magnet. . . another reason I was trying to move away from black, but I do love it.

btw- I heard that Oregon has a no-point system, which would be my only draw to moving there! :chuckle:

This is BS... WINTERFROST FTW haters!!!!!

Black car with black rims... cops think drug dealer!!

Grey would blend in with everyone.... but then your also blending in with everyone and no one notices your car...

Winterfrost with black rims equals and orga$m every time you see it.... and Im sure you want that :biggrin:

just the crimson black or the slate are my only options

slate all the way only b/c of the red interior. slate to me is just b..o..r...i..n..g. no offense to slate owners, but the red leather makes up for it.

lol - Nice, dk rockaway much but was actually up near a week ago at Denville, white 3.5 w red interior I went to check out, thought I mite like it, but def not (pearl white w charchoal > much sexier) that cemented the slate until i saw the damn crimson. . lol - & now im stuck acting like my car color will save the country :woot:

I'm down near Rahway, about 15 mins from Elizabeth. My dealer is almost 2 hrs south jersey. sigh. deal was worth it for the 11'. Plus, get a nice drive back in it.

Where u dj at?
