    I really love the red. I can't believe it has so few votes. But really you can't go wrong with any color.

    Still sexy even on a rainy day, the color is very bright in the sun and it randomly changes, and unlike the rad red it has more to it then just the color =)

    I get a ton of looks with my Rad Red, but I would prefer a colour that is a little more subtle. My 2 bits.

    Magnetic Gray, red attracts too much attention, especially from cops.

    I drive almost 10 over through speed traps and no cops has ever looked twice at my truck. Its the driver/driving style that attracts attention, not the car so much. Unless of course you're driving a 1992 ford escort with 3 different color panels and a cracked taillight

    How are you stuck between the flashiest color (besides SPDWYBL) and the most subtle one? I'd go with Grey, but that's because it's closer to black,the best color.

    Make a decision yet?
