Jack mentioned that he thought the color in the picture was off. He used to have a picture on his website showing this color and it wasn't so cherry in color. He is sending a sample and I'll post a photo of the sample when I get it.

someone here has an arena red w/ a very close matching color top. Can't remember who but unfortunately I think I remember that person got keyed pretty badly

Might search on got keyed or other variants to see if you can find.

The color in that picture looks off if it's the same top this other person had.

Good luck

the color of the top matches the various red lenses of the exterior lighting. eye catching.

Who cares what we think? Some of us will like it and some not. Just make sure you know exactly what the colour is and if you like it, go for it!

I don't like red cars, but I think it looks kinda cool, classy. It doesn't look any more garish than alot of the GT3 color treatments. Looks way better than grey on a red car and everyone has a black top. Dare to be different. If you like it, get it.

Arena red is a great color, Guards red is for Corvettes.

Top color doesn't make much difference.

Arena red with gray interior looks great on 911s
