I dig it, but I'm not crazy about where they split the two-tone. IMO, they should have carried the line from the back right to the top corner of the headlight, then done the whole front bumper in black, instead of the red around the grill. That would have kept the visual split of the red and black even with the hood line and around the front.

I second this. I don't think it looks that great

After going back and looking at the pics, I can't believe they didn't paint the lower part of the trunk in black either! I missed it the first time because all I looked at was the front and then posted here. The back of the car looks unfinished with a red trunk and black bumper.

Not new. It wasn't well received on the Cadi forums back when it appeared in '07, and I can't say I feel differently. It's nothing too fancy. The paint scheme is somewhat tacky and even the performance side of it isn't impressive (for what it is)--Bob's Procharged V at EPP made 800whp, around the same time that this car was built.

Yea, the red paint has to go. I'd go all black and just keep the red pinstripe on the wheels.

And only 540hp from a procharged 408? Lame....

This is true, that # is possible with a great cam. Add that onto the Procharger and get better results.
