Re: PICS OF YOUR RED OR BLACK THIRD GENS!!!
just a thought, black will show more flaws then red will due to its "deeper" shine so if its your first time doing body work you may want to go with red.
also you probably already know this but theres a sticky somewhere called "what color to paint" got some nice colors in there.

The Black one I just bought. The Red one I sold a few years back.
I like the Black (the red flames are a nice touch) with the red interior.

Re: PICS OF YOUR RED OR BLACK THIRD GENS!!!
I wish I had a dollar for everybody that told me I should paint my car black....it aint gonna happen. It seems that a vast majority of 3rd gens get painted black no matter what color they started out. A black car that is clean looks amazing.....but, it shows dirt, dust, road grime, etc... very, very easily. I've had a couple of black cars and I'll more than likely never have another one.
I say go with the red. I'm also biased.....

I think they are C6's, competition gray, 18/19 combo. i think they are a dealer item. Someone on here was selling the exact same set fo 500.

Just could not decide between Red or Black.
So.....I chose both RED and BLACK ( and a little silver for good contrast).

It's factory red. And yes, they're stock C6 competition grey wheels. Found them in the back of the parts room.
