Nooo!!! That color is mine!



Ok, its more of a purple/gray. Yes, its Photoshopped too.

This grey color is getting so played out, so quickly.. The IS300 started it, and now every car maker is offering this color.. The Cobra and Focus has it (looks good on the Focus, looks like ass on the Cobra), the new Corvettes have 'em (looks like crap), the S2000, even the new VW Passat and Bug have it now (pretty good looking, suprisingly).

If you're going to spend the money, make your car stand out, not blend in.

Damn that looks great

Here are a few more colors:

Charcoal, (Baby Poo?) Yellow, Chocolate, Bright Red, Purple, Green and Teal

I like the Teal.

I did that one just to see what my car would look like if I put the SVT parts on it, but kept it the factory color.

I think my favorite is that purplish-charcoal. It worries me putting such a dark color over such a bright one. Rockchips would suck.

Good point, but dark colors are harder to keep clean

But if I am only driving the car 1/3 of the time......

Ok swazo have you ever seen the movie gone in 60 seconds? There is a mustang shelby 500 in that movie that I would kill to have, the paint on that car is amazing, its the charcoal grey with about 1000 coats of clear. Definately go with that color!!!! If you have not seen the movie you should watch it for the paint idea!!
