Default can't decide what color to paint my EM1.

hey guys, I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I can't decide what color to paint my EM1 and would like some suggestions. it's currently FBP, but around here everyone has an Si clone and it's usually black, so I want a color that kind of stands out. I was thinking like a Milano Red as they are really hard to come by over here. any feedback? thanks in advance.

Since it was originally black leave it black, but instead of FBP, paint it 04 STi Java Black. I mean really. If you want a red Si, sell yours and go buy one. It would probably be cheaper than having yours color changed anyway.

I like EBP, don't get me wrong, but it's kind of too played out over here, not to mention it is a dead give away for thieves. ^

How about S2000 Silverstone Metallic? If you were thinking about sticking with a red how about something like a Matte Red

I seriously went with that Java Black. it's costing me a pretty penny, but well worth it. I had to specially order it from the Subaru dealership aswell.
