I love love love black but red has better resale value and will sell faster. Although it may sell faster red won't make it go any faster. ;-)

Seriously, its all personal preference and whether you have money burning a hole in your pocket.

Black is nice but hard to keep clean and maintain people always touching your car leaving hand prints and you can see the dust black is for someone that likes washing their car often huh.

I like either way but I think you should paint the mirrors red also, works with TAs but the way the fender comes up to the mirror on camaros throws it off IMO, nice lookin car though.

The red looks good but I would pull off those glasspacks and tips, along with taking the paint off of your bumper impact foam.
