admittingly, it does sound weird to go with a stock Z color but in my view Interlagos Fire being a stock color doesnt make any less of a contender, especially being that it looks 100 times better than all the purple options posted.
just because its from a different model, manufacturer or completely custom doesnt automatically = a better color choice.

that being said i did paint my car over a color from another manufacturer's color code.

That looks freaking awesome but theres no way we would be able to pull that off nicely.

I think I'm caving and going for a white:

That's some pretty expensive paint to be sporting with ebay tails and painted stockers.

And tell your buddy to stay out of frame when you're shooting.

Yea I took those tails off and got OEM tails. As for the wheels I'm getting spacers right now, and saving for some VMR Sunken Treasure wheels... it's a work in progress.

And we didn't know the GoPro shot that wide of an angle I thought he was out of frame..

But thanks for being so critical of all aspects

Came back from the paint shop and they were having difficulty finding the Arianco Argos. I found some other lambo red/orange which looks similar but I will have to wait and see if they call back telling me they got the code.

Either way I think that is the color that is going to be painted with

Well, whatever it is, its a very vibrant red with a tri-stage gold laid on top. There are a lot of cars that come from the factory with this style of paint (commonly using a white base and gold, silver, or blue pearl). Your paint shop should be able to cook something up for you without having to find the exact Lambo color code.
