Ok... I love this color in the bright sun or under lights. I mean I LOVE it.... But once its in the shadows the car disappears. You cant even tell what color the car is, I assume its a black car if I didnt know better. Now I have only seen pics, so is this the case in person? I would love to get this color but this makes me nervous because at night will this car look blue or black? For example, three posts above, the guy standing in the door of the car. Its IBM but looks black. I dont like that.

I haven't seen the color in person, but I'm thinking (hoping) that the blue color will be more intense to the eye than it is to some of these cameras. I agree that the blue looks very dark and flat in some pics. IBM and Red Jewel seem to change shades a lot depending on the camera and lighting.

very nicely said mr MikeZ28 as for 91RS you also need to understand that this color is very beautiful during the day at night it will look black but once you get some light on it at night it will have a hint of blue which should make it look way nicer. this color is just perfect for those who don't want black.

oh oh... expect some more... IBM photos... BAD ASS photos... soon.

91RS · 05-21-2009, 03:52 PM

Yeah exactly, sometimes it looks flat. I want the car to stand out at night. IOM would stand out incredibly at night. This is the reason I dont like dark colors (black, gray, etc) but IBM is a freakin beautiful color under lights.

lakers171 · 05-21-2009, 03:54 PM

yeah Its a tough decision for alot of people i instantly fell in love with this color i hope you find your color too keep looking at pics to come and hopefully you pick the one you really want.

91RS · 05-21-2009, 04:00 PM

Thanks Lakers, Im seriously leaning toward IBM with white stripes like you. Im sure if I saw it in person it would be a no brainer. I have it narrowed to down to IBM, ABM, and IOM. OBviously I like the metallic colors. VR and RY are nice but are too flat. Makes the car look cheaper in my opinion.

lakers171 · 05-21-2009, 04:02 PM

yeah ABM is also another car that looks wow on the pics so its a tough one. good luck

Oh who needs a front license plate......

My hope is the cop says "wow, I wouldn't drill holes in that bumper either" and drives off..... hopefully I don't have to find out!

take the fine, if it comes, as it's a lot cheaper than the longer term impact to the value of your front end!

To me that has been why this is a great color. Your car looks a little different as the light conditions change. At night it will look more black until you shine some light on it. If you don't like a color that changes with light then I would avoid this color and the orange because the orange will look more red at night.

So my dealer called me on Friday and said that I would get it tomorrow. I don't wanna count my chickens before they hatch but I'm super excited. Probably won't be able to sleep tonight, lol.

I keep going back and forth about this color and if I should change to something else. But with every awesome picture I think it just confirms a good color choice! The color is just amazing. I can't wait to see it at night and if it is so dark it looks black.

RS_Man · 05-26-2009, 05:19 PM

Hey guys, Got mine 2 weeks ago, I have many pictures of it up on photobucket if anyone wants to check it out, link is in my signature, enjoy!
