Better picutres of my 08 Vista Blue GT.

Well now that the weather has cleared up, I got a chance to pull her out of the garage and take some decent pictures..

Lowered on Sportlines.









The glassback looks blue, but it's 5% tinted...I guess in combination of the lighting on my digital SLR and the photoshop editing it turned blue.

Ohhhh and my girl who kept sitting next to me while taking pictures. 1 year old Lilly, she's a pit/boxer mix.

Sweet car man. Love the lowered look with the sportlines. Makes me want to put some on my ride. Did you do anything else to the suspension? Also, what kind of seat covers do you have?

Just Sportlines, nothing else done. Although I have a BMR panhard bar and LCA's on order.

The seats are custom from a shop here in northern VA.

From the pictures, your car seems to look more like Sonic Blue, than Vista Blue. Or is it because of lighting/reflection conditions. I just can't seem to notice the difference

Anyway, hope this doesn't sound like a dumb question, but what exactly are sportlines ?

As I can't seem to locate them anywhere in the pics, but at any rate. I really like your 08 Vista Blue GT

Well in 2006 Vista Blue replaced Sonic Blue, so it is a similiar color. However, with the lighting and editing I did in Photoshop it's possible that it might look more like Sonic Blue.

Sporlines are lowering springs made by Eibach. They give probably one of the lowest drops in the aftermarket world.

So in your opinion, is Vista Blue a lighter shade than Sonic Blue, or about the same

The reason for my curiosity, is I may be looking into trading in my 05 Torch Red GT, for an 08 Vista Blue GT.

vista blue is actually darker than sonic blue.

i've parked next to a few vista blues and mine is much more vibrant than vista blue.. it's a shame that they replace sonic blue, but vista isn't bad either ;-)

Your car looks great, very very nice.

As far as the difference in blues in my opinion- Sonic has much more purple than Vista. There is a touch of purple in Vista under the right light, but Sonic you can see purple pretty much all of the time. I like both blues, but prefer Vista when you add stripes or accents. Sonic was only in 2005 though, I waited till '06 to get Vista.

Yeah, I coudln't agree with you more man. Sonic blue was/is a beautiful color, but definitely gives off more purple. Sonic blue in DIRECT sun light gives off a bit of a purple tint, but a lot of metallic as well.

I like both your girls! As I a) currently drive an 08 VB GT, and b) also own a Pit mix, although she's a Pit/Beagle mix.

a) is my avatar and here is b)...sorry the picture is cr@p.


Love those wheels too! Looks like you stumbled into a great car!

How do you like that Glassback so far? Do you wish you had a sunshade?

Awww, that's a gorgeous dog. Someone should post up a dog/pet thread (maybe I will haha).

As for the glassback roof...I definitely love it. Yesterday it was about 80 degrees out, sunny, not a cloud in the sky. I can honestly say that no shade is necessary. I have it tinted to 5% which is the darkest you can go (hence it only lets 5% of light in). However you can see outwards a lot more. So it doesn't bring in a lot of light but you can see things with no problem. I wouldn't have it any other way.
