I think the car is a cop magnet despite the color.

i actually had the chance to get a red one but i really didnt like it
the dark gray was spectacular compared to the red
with the paint it looks like it has metal particles, u guys know what i mean
and the red was well just red.... and automatic, and i guess someone offered an extra 3 grand to get my dgm from the dealer because they didnt like the red

That is the thing...Dmg is possibly the best dark coolor out there and red is just red. But it being pure red is what counts...but yes it would be similar to any other red out there...nothing special.

I actually always wanted an all chromed out car! lol i think it has something to do with monopoly... but i know better now i kinda dont like chrome on newer cars, but then again everyone on the road would be blinded by me like in that top gear episode when they build theyre own car and its got aluminium pannels and its shiny as all hell even to the driver lol and imagine how cool that sucker would be in the summer considering it bounces off most of the sun's rays idk my 2 cents id be down for maybe a stainless steel body look kinda like the DeLorean.

Heheeh...I've seen this picture posted before on our forums, but this thought just hit me:

Is this legal or DOT approved? I would think that the shiny chrome finish all over the car could be a potential hazard to other drivers because of glare.

Okay, back on topic:

I would go with the DGM for 3 reasons:
1-Red is cop magnet
2-DGM dirty looks as good as most of the other colors clean
3-DGM clean looks better than any other color clean (except WRB of course - I may be biased there)

Red.

saw the DGM when i was looking for my own, didn't seem quite the right shade i was personally looking for, but that was after already seeing black/white/silver/red. color preference varies though. most colors look good either way, always about which one looks better tho

Lightning red.

DGM always looked like it was the summation of all the other colours on the car blended into one, which gives it a washed out look IMO. DGM would be the last colour on my list.

DGM. Personally I don't care for the stock taillights at all and will be getting the Tom's down the road because they look goddamn beautiful. The contrast would look better on a DGM than LR to me. If you like the stockies, it's a moot point.

I love the way the red looks under shop lights...but the DGM is a little stealthier and sleeker.

But you know...you can do this poll without doing this poll since the colors by popularity of the cars sold overall is already out there...
