So, my car has 66,000 miles which means it's around that time for a refresh coming up. I have a red 2005 convertible. I am either going to do one of two things; Repaint red and add stripes or change color to Snakeskin green with black stripes and paint my Razor H wheels black. Either way a 2008 hood will be added. I am not worried about resale value seeing how I have 66,000 miles and it's my daily driver. I am at a dead 50/50 on this....

color change will be like getting a new car, esp w/ the 08 hood

Honestly at 66,000 miles it is not the time to worry about resale. Do what will make you happy and what you can afford.

I understand it's what makes ME happy but it's always nice to hear outside opinions like tattoos and piercings.... lol. The crazy thing is, this car drives amazing and hasn't caused me any real problems so maybe I got lucky or these cars are really that bullet proof!

Well then if that is the case either the red with white stripes or maybe even silver stripes.

02 rt/10, completely stock when i bought it. only added hiflows, x-pipe muffler delete, k&n filters, and sct tune. everyone well worth the :money:

on my wish list are gears, brakes and wheels; and small stuff like hid's. I'd drive this car anywhere, any distance.
