I wouldn't do a true red on a sedan like the GS... although I think it looks good on the 2GS pictured above, I think it's because that car has a roll cage and was obviously built for racing (drifting).
I remember seeing red BMW 535s and Mercedes E320s back in the early 1990s and thinking it just was too sporty for a sedan.
That being said, I am definitely a big fan of colors... never been a big fan of black or white cars, just too subtle for me.
If you went with a color like the IS350 Matador metallic red or Spectra Blue from the 2GS... Now THAT would be killer!
I guess the question boils down to whether you want a VIP look or a show car look.

I say keep the car black. Get new rims, air suspension, bbk, and a new vip kit. Red won't flow right since I honestly think the 1st gen body only looks good in black, dark red, grey, and all white.
