Sharp! They kinda remind me of the Konig Beyond wheels.

Well optioned! Vapor looks very similar to Mineral Gray to me without the brown. The side shot makes the painted Fanblades look good but I'm not sold on them yet. The biggest improvement they could make to those wheels is putting some more rubber on them- 245/50's or 255/45's. I love the spoiler delete and red interior.

The new fan blades look a lot better, I wish some one would take some pics of the HID's at night.

Not a fan of the painted fanblades, AT ALL. Makes them look too skinny, IMHO.

Looks pretty good!

I guess they had the fan blades custom painted? I don't think you can get them like that from the factory like that can you?

I really like the spoiler delete with the hood scoop. I like the red interior through the tinted windows but once the door opens it's too light/bright, I wish they had made it a little darker red IMO.

I think the painted blades and I'm pretty sure it's a new for '08 optional wheel.

I had the silver fanblades on my old 05.




So I like the dark fanblades because they are something different from what I have allready had.

It does make them look skinnier. I would need to see in person before I went and had mine painted.

I didn't see anything on the 2008 order guide about painted fan blades?

I'm not crazy about the painted wheels either. I could see it if it were trying to match the car's color, but otherwise it looks like its 'trying' to hard to make the wheels look like something else. I hope they aren't all like that.

The hood scoop looks like it was shaved down to have a lower profile than the one on my 2007 too. I like this one better.

Not too keen on the new color though. Looks like a standard silver to me. Still a nice looking car though.

I'm liking this Vapor color. Looks pretty sweet, like someone else said "it's like Mineral Grey without the brown." Perfect, just how I've wanted for years.

There is another thread that Brad posted that shows a pic of them.

Here is another link as well:

I don't care for them. Personally I think they look like dirty fanblades. Therefore, to me, it looks like the wheels need to be cleaned all the time.
