i have a black one..
something it looks like its old, like 2004 or 2005..
or maybe its just my eyes :D
I saw one.. rally red at the dealership, and wow, the paint job was very nice :D
maybe its because it was in the showroom.. lol
some ppl told me that WHITE AND RED r bad colors, because they like (don't know the word), lose its bright.. after 1 year..
" looks like old"

To be honest, stick with the RR. I have NBP and it is a pain. You can see scratches and waterspots. It looks great clean, but I would rather have the RR.

Car colors usually look different in person versus online. Originally, I wasn't going to go with the habi red, but when I saw it in person I changed my mind. Thought I was going to get the galaxy grey or black. Glad I did not get the black. Alot of the galaxy greys I saw did not come with black interior, which looks extremely sharp with the habi red.

I say it is all overall appearance you should look at. Granted it does start with the outside. There is a thread where everyone voted on their favorite color. You should check it out to see what everyone has.

Yea but the black gets dirty too quick, i am sick of seeing blue, the white gets dirty too quick, so yea thats why i like the red it looks sweet even more so with a carbon fiber hood but the black looks sweet when its clean so its a hard decision.

Well the red looks sick with mods it really shows but the black shows all the crap that builds up wheather you clean it all the time or not i dont know i will need to see both colors side by side to decide.

Ah, no. The Si does not come with anything other than a black and red stitch interior. Check YOUR sources. A GG "Si" With a grey interior=Si Badged DX/LX/EX.

See for yourself.

Geez, I dont even have an Si, OR an '06 and I know that.

OK, reread my message. I told you I saw in person a galaxy grey Si. This car was at the dealership and <U>was an Si</U>. No time to badge this vehicle as it was sold on the day it was received. Mayeb someone f*cked up at the manufacturer, but I know what I saw.

It wasnt a factory option on the Si. So it was badged wrong or something. Plus a grey interior would look like *** on the Si.
