Choices, choices

Hello all from Maryland. Just got home from the dealership where they have 4 coupes and 10 convertibles that are currently orphaned. Should be pulling the trigger on one in the immediate future. Plans are to wrap it so color isn't paramount but still leaning towards a white coupe over the 3 other reds they have in stock. I will keep you all posted.

Since you intend to wrap, FYi, 08 red are painted over black panels, whereas 09 red and ALL white are solid MIC.

That's true and something to think about, but also the 08 red is now discontinued, so will become rare in time.

(Rare doesn't necessarily mean valuable. )

You could just get one of the ones with the color you don't like, then later down the road you could get a body freshup kit in the color you want ($900+) (replaces plastic panels)

Rare just means hard to get if you scratch or damage a panel

Unless of course, it's a reverse painting, then it ends with white
