i like the rio as well. the spa is too light for my taste and looks a tad faded for me. no offense to the ap1 owners

Rio is indeed darker - more red - and it is a simpler color to paint and match as it is a 2-step process. Spa is a 3-step process and it is very, very difficult to get a proper color match.

I love yellow, I like Rio a lot, but then again, I think Spa looks just great, not too light at all.

Spa FTW here. when it's freshly waxed and sunny the pearls make it stand out alot.
