Hmm...tough call...Blue would look very nice! I'd probably choose a metallic hue, myself. Then again, you could take the road less traveled and go with a bright yellow. But you'd really have to be serious about it. I'm sure whatever you choose will look good. BTW, I dig your grill! Pretty slick...

The red isn't a very common thing for a Max. I'd keep it if you already like it.

i'd have to agree, but i guess you can't really tell from the pics but your car looks like it's got a nice job already done to it, and it's a hot color, but maybe you need it. and yeah, black is always nice...

I changed my color from the manufacturer pearl to a blue starfire pearl. I like the paint job a lot. Hope you know a good body man because if you go to a darker car dents that you never knew you had will start to appear.

Dennis, that red is already off the chains, bro!! I'd say keep it. Maybe throw some pearl in the mix for effect. Like maxmizd27 said, there aren't a lot of red Max's around.

Either that, or you COULD go with David's Chromalusion $4k+ paint job!!

Yeah really I say keep the red, but feel free to make it like Candy Apple or some other red.

Also, I think the rear looks just fine, at least the rear isn't *sagging*, which would look even stranger.

...well... this is what i think....

I just got my Max painted a few months ago. i went fromthe original charcole grey to a brilliant WRX Rally Blue... thanx to my good friends at subaru. To bad i can't get a 4wheel drive from them

But for you, i don't know man.... i mean, you got a nice color as is....
i went with the blue cause, well... it's just easier than trying to match things to charcole grey

hey Dennis

you got to remember that your engine bay and door jams are still gonna be red so I wouldnt go to far off,
when I got my gxe painted I changed it from stock white to lexus diamond pearl, It looks hot cause its not the pearl that is creamy and changes from light to dark, but it has tiny sparkle in the white paint and it looks good cause its not too much but its classy looking.
Like someone said just keep it red and add a pearl. btw $600 is a good price as long as you know your getting a good paint job, mine cost $2500 with a good connection. but it was well worth it.

and I still cant figure out if your wing curves more than mine

let me know if you want the straighter one.
