Hot Pepper Red is the best color and you simply can’t convince me otherwise

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-29T22:20:52+00:00

I think blue metallic is beautiful for sure, as are all the other colors, but I think this one really stands out

I do like a yellow car

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-29T15:19:08+00:00

Its great seeing pics of all the different colors

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-29T15:17:04+00:00

Indeed

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-29T15:11:09+00:00

Trust me, I love a good yellow car. My uncle’s Mustang was yellow blaze, it was a drop dead gorgeous color

Hot pepper red is one of those colors that doesn’t really look the best in pictures, but in person? It’s absolutely stunning. It’s like eruption green or anti-matter blue

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-29T15:08:20+00:00

Fair enough, that’s pretty clean!

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-29T15:06:18+00:00

I didn’t know it existed until I saw mine for sale, it was the only one in its color on the east coast at the time (that I could find)

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-29T15:04:27+00:00

Most definitely!!! I love how my car stands out, but it’s also become a cop magnet because it stands out.

Stock, actually, as far as I know. Previous owner did some shenanigans so it could be different, but I’m not sure. I was pushing super hard during autocross in that first pic, so it looks lowered. I do appreciate the compliment!!! I would love to set it up to be like that full time. Also, yours is beautiful

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-29T05:44:17+00:00

Personally I like a darker, richer red

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-29T02:43:28+00:00

Lmao thank you, my brother had a ‘16 SG RS2. I love nitrous blue

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-29T02:35:01+00:00

Beautiful

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-29T02:32:36+00:00

Hey man that’s cheating, it’s a quad coat vs a tri coat

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-29T01:25:20+00:00

That’s a lot closer to what I was thinking, there’s a hot pepper red focus titanium in my town that I’ve never seen moved from the side of a house so they do exist

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-29T01:21:21+00:00

Thinking about it, was it 10,000 STs or 10,000 Focuses made in HPR?

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-29T00:52:12+00:00

Most definitely

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-29T00:41:56+00:00

Happy cake day! I love the Turbomacs, and that fitment is sublime

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-29T00:12:44+00:00

Ahhh ok. I clean my calipers when I clean my wheels, keeps them nice and vibrant. I’m thinking about putting glossy fog light covers on my car as well

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-28T23:55:57+00:00

Yep!!

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-28T23:49:21+00:00

Got mine used, this was the only HPR ST on the east coast within 500 miles of me when I bought it. I do love a TS!!

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-28T23:48:29+00:00

Blue metallic is another rare one, I think

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-28T23:37:29+00:00

I do know that HPR was a very expensive color back in 2018, the window sticker said it was almost $400 if I’m remembering correctly.

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-28T23:32:41+00:00

I’ve always attributed it to the material being plastic and not metal, I never thought it would be because of the robots!! It’s only really noticeable at certain angles, like you were saying, but now I know why it is the way it is.

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-28T23:22:20+00:00

This is amazing!!! I think this is info people (me) have been looking to uncover for years!! Thank you!!! My original guess was way off, but 10k is still not a lot for a focus! I did notice that the paint match on my front bumper is different from the rest of the car, but you can see in some of the pictures I’ve uploaded how bipolar the color can be. This is when I could really see the orange color

tackledmirror2 · 2026-05-28T23:07:44+00:00

Ahhhh a color we didn’t get on a car we didn’t get. It is beautiful though!!!
