Red is nice, but gives your car a lot of attention... especially cops !

everyone says insurance is more, but can they really charge that much extra? isnt it like 20 bucks a year?

and that red looks damn good, it shines so good after washes

i'm not 100% sure but i think it's a bit more around 50-100bux more if it's red. Red paint is generally more money than other colors, not sure exactly why but i think it costs more to make red color pigments? (my body guy told me something like that)
