Victory red from the C6 colour pallette. Torch red is pretty bright as well but some say it has an orange tint to it.

These aren't GM colors...but:
Painted mine "Rosso Corsa" from Ferrari - love it. No orange hues anywhere and its the most pure red I could find.
The next up contendor was VW's "Salsa Red"

Google > Images. Hunt until you find a red you like.

If you're able to look at the actual color composition of the paints your considering, you'll find that reds with a slight blue component in them tend to be brighter. (Same with white)

They were on the car when I got it. The rocker panels had to be trimmed but the PO gave (gave??) me a pair of original panels, along with the original hood, in case I wanted to change back. There isn't a lot of trimming but I'd definately have to replace the rocker panels if I ever decide to change. I believe the rest of the install is purely bolt/screw on. BTW, I don't have headers, just the original exhaust manifold. Have a great day, Bill
