i'm assuming the previous owner painted it rsp. were the door jambs painted too? engine bay? trunk? if those parts weren't painted then it's easier to change back to 3k3.

rsp is garbage. i cant believe people are actually impressed by it. it looks as bad as the crappy blue that came on evo VIII's in 2003-2004.

the red looks a lot better.

i dont hate it. i dont like it for the fact that people have such a huge obsessive love for it. its just another color. it is ugly IMO. most people only like it because it is rare factory color. if not having a trunk lid from the factory was a "rare option" i bet people would rave about it too.

bring it back to its formal glory and enjoy a real nice color.

Garnet pearl for sure, I used to be a big RSP fan I am kind of over it. I have yet to get tired of garnet pearl.
