Most red wraps read pink in overcast light or orange under direct sun. Flame Red doesn't shift. It stays a true, warm red with a satin metallic glow that holds its nerve from dawn to dusk.
Flame Red moves through three moods: deep burgundy in low light, a warm crimson at midday, and a soft metallic sheen that glows without glaring. The satin finish kills the plastic look you get from glossy reds. Stand it next to a typical aftermarket red and the difference is immediate. This one has a factory-grade finish built in.
Love those factory reds on an Audi, Mazda, or Ferrari? Now put that same color energy on your Mustang, Supra, GR86, or Model 3.
