RE: saleen color
i say silver-
i picked that color because i think its more effective- really makes the dark grills, rims, effects, and mechanics jump out.
make a sheet with the car in different colors on it. you'll at least have an idea about what you like.

Clue or beryllium, though the beryllium may only be an option on the E car

RE: saleen color
Saleen paint colors are available on any new Saleen, just have to special order it, the only problem is they raised the price on the custom paints, $15,000 for the normal Saleen colors, $16,000 for Extreme Rainbow........................it used to be $6,000 and $11,000................................

I just got off the phone with Chris at Rich Ford, and he confirmed your above quote. That a BIG jump in price for their custom paints. I think now I will do my 05 S281E in mineral gray. I recently saw a mineral gray 05 Saleen in person in Palm Springs and liked it a lot. I loved my beryllium S281E, but the beryllium paint made it stand out like a sore thumb on the road. I think the 'stealth' mineral gray will cut down on my road attention from cops. Mineral gray, here I come.

................$6000 was easy to justify, but $15000...............I'd think twice before ordering it, or bite the bullet and go another $1000 and get it in Extreme Rainbow.

It is highly possible that Saleens with custom colors, such as your Lizstick red, will go up in value because of the new paint pricing.
