TEP really stands out in the sunlight. If I didn't buy the Aspec first I would have gotten my ITS in TEP
man i really wanted mine in TEP but i couldn't find one that came with orchid interior versus the ebony and i prioritized the interior

With the '25 11th Gen refresh it may not standout as much other than the wang.

Yeah I had a Q50 Red Sport pull beside me on the highway. I'd be interested to see how it would match up but I was eating a sandwich.
I’ve done some rolls with my friend who has a 3.3t Genesis G70 and from a 30 and 50 roll it was basically dead even. We ran up to about 115-120 on probably 6-7 pulls. I was honestly shocked we stayed bumper to bumper.

That's good to know!

I really wanted one until I saw one in person and I was a little bit let down. Maybe it was a cloudy day but it just didn't look as good as it does in pictures for me.

I completely agree with you. As much as I wanted to love the TEP (and I do love how it looks in the right light), the color on a cloudy day was a deal breaker for me. Same deal with the PRP.

PRP is such a good red (especially on these cars, but even on TLX / ILX). I don't regret going ABP, but I would have to give PRP a close 2nd (and I'm typically not a red car guy).

Wow, that red changes completely without the sunlight. Still cool. I can definitely see what you mean about the TEP. I really wanted that color too, but took the first one I was offered as I didn't want to wait.

Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful color! Especially in the sunlight. However, I'm partial to more of a fire engine red like that Miata parked next to you (my first Integra was that color) and I personally don't like how on cloudy days this one looks darker and more.... metallic

Yeah. I saw the same thing with Apex Blue. Where I live we have lots of clouds and overcast which makes it look purple.

I get it, it's why we're all different. There are a ton of beautiful reds, I just happen to like this one more than most.

I still maintain that PWP was my first choice until I saw the mismatch panels, then it was ABP... until I saw this color in person, and decided I could live with it lol.

No doubt it's a beautiful color, just not my first choice and I'm not here to yuck anybody else's yum. I'm partial to white cars though so it was PWP for me . I don't have any issues with mismatched panels on mine.

My second choice was either TEP for the novelty and the LCM, but ruled the TEP out after seeing in person (like i mentioned previously).

Seeing the PWP and LCM side by side in person edged the PWP ahead for me.

I'm not a fan of blue on any car so it was never in the running for me. Here's a pic of a second ITS at the dealership I picked mine up from though.
