It's the plastic black accents that kill me.

I think the red is my favorite color by far, but I just can't do the plastic parts and the hood lines through the front kill it for me as well, so I chose black to have it all blend in and be uniform. Not to mention, for young and dumb folks like me, black cars will return laser readings several hundred feet after bright colors like red will, giving you extra seconds to see a patrol car and conform to the speed limit. The German Autobahn system is the safest highway network in the world. I'm not sure why "speeding" on limited access, multi-lane freeways is demonized here in the states, but that's a discussion for another time and place.

I chose grey but really like the red. I like how some black accent adds some color.
I don't excessive speed when other cars around.. I only have chose of endangering myself. I cant choose for others..

The whole body is plastic (composite). :iono: If you like the monochromatic look, paint the black to match.

Lol im not thaaaat much of a stickler. It's close enough to me in the pictures. By plastic in my post, I mean the parts that wouldnt have been painted body color, and anyone not in the know, looking at the car, would easily identify as plastic.

And GQ, nor do I speed excessively around other traffic, I should have made that point as well.

Isn't that a "composite" material? (See above). The base roof is not CF that is an option.

I'm shocked that CGM is so far ahead. It is more of a dressy sedan color, not a sportscar color. :noidea:

Base roof is painted carbon fiber.. still carbon fiber under paint

Oh, that's cool! I'm surprised the visible CF roof is so much $. I guess it's the expensive clearcoat.
