Yeah, I am tending to agree with you that the satin will look better with the Candy Red on mine. I do like the PTM surround with the black grille inserts on the FX4 as that is very consistent with that model's paint theme.

MD150's Platinum looks great in black, but I think it would be too much red on mine especially since I went with the PTM red accents in the wheels too.

yeah red is one of those colors that is very easy to go over board on.

Speaking of wheels, when are we going to get to see them? You can't have had bad weather for this long...

That looks good too! I am convinced that the darker colors (and white) look great with the PTM surround but not as much for the red.
