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.

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.
