Can't Decide On A Color! >:l

I'm either buying an 06 or 07 SS

I'm stuck between Red, Yellow, or Black.

All lowered on springs. Hid's. Msr's eventually (I KNOW I KNOW ). High Rise. Tc Grille. Pretty Basic Appearance Mods. I literally can't decide. Make some pro's and con's. Help me out

black sucks dont get it, either red or yellow, both are screaming for a ticket, i would say red just because next to a corvettes "canary yellow" the cobalt yellow looks dull.

I hate red and yellow, so I'd say black, I'm more of a blue or silver guy anyway, blends in more with traffic

If you want to stand out, catch attention, RED/YELLOW.
If you wanna be a normal average looking car then black.

I personally don't like the black as you can't really see the shape of the car fully, it "hides" its features. Hard to explain. But on light colors you can see the car more clearly. Black makes it all blend in like a swamp of ink. When it comes to appearance mods, black on black is overrated. Black on white would be your best pick and it would still look weird with red tails, the chrome headlights would look okay.

I mean I don't know it's really your choice. I used to hate red, ended up buying a red cobalt, now I love it!

Ive had a red ss/sc for almost 6 years and have been pulled over once.. for forgetting to renew my sticker lol. People say red and yellow get pulled over more often, but I think thats total bs. Now, stick a loud exhaust on, or street race often, and it doesnt matter what color car you have. Youre going to attract attention.

Colors aside, I'd go with the 07 because it has a better center stack (radio, etc), better steering wheel, etc.

I think Red/Black is one of the most over used color combo's ever. I have an all black and it is a pain in the ass to keep clean. Other then that, when it is clean, it looks really nice. It's just keeping it that way haha. Black shows everything.

Black sucks if you like having a clean car. I had a black cobalt for 4 years and ill never get a black vehicle again unless it sits in the garage.

i think black looks best when its dirty and dark.... dirt hides all the scratches that black shows. also, like someone else said go with the 07, better stereo and steering wheel.

I know i've done tons of research. I need one on Jan 13. Lol. Just needs the right amount of miles and mods. So i can't be to picky.

ugh now i like silver even though i find it sort of boring.

Here's what you should do: if you like the idea of having any of those colours, pick the one that's in the best condition.
