what ever color you chose, make sure its done properly. Like having the inside of the doors, trunk/hatch area, under hood etc.. all painted.

nothing more tacky than seeing a car looking sweet and they open the door and you see another color - lol

personally - i love the color you have. just needs a few other color accents

looks like tan interior ? lot of extra work to do a color change the right way as stated. they have so many cool reds to choose from it is just a matter of what you prefer. nothing beats a laser straight black paint job to me.

If your headlight motors don't work, replacing them would greatly improve the look of the car. And I like the factory medium patriot red metallic color.

Yeah one of the motors went out recently. Just need time to get it out and do a gear replacement.

Keep it the same color unless you want to spend some serious money to get a color change done right. Just about any color looks amazing when the paint is fresh, and that would probably be the same with the color on the car now.

I would keep the original Medium Patriot Red color as well. When it is fresh and kept up properly it really pops!

Here here, when my car was going to get repainted I thought about black but the red looked much better with my tan interior, granted they are different shades (different years)
