Been lurking now for almost year, but now I've got something to post! I placed my order back on June 3rd and wasn't expecting my car till this fall. I've been tracking the status via the ERL and my dealer called today to say it was in! I've gotten more looks at my car in the 20 miles I drove it than I've ever gotten before!

Everyone at the dealer agreed that Tungsten with the 18" wheels looks awesome. This car rocks.

I debated a long time between a color I never saw and black. I always wanted Dark Shadow Grey and I guessed Tungsten would be the closest to that, I was right. I love black cars, however, I would've drove myself crazy trying to keep it clean.

Tungsten looks different in every pic I see. That's one of the best attributes about the color. Depending on light, angle, even type of light, it looks awsome. It can look dark, light, or a combo of both. I have a feeling that the camera shots are not doing justice to the naked eye. You can see most shots "wash" out the metallic properties of the paint. Especially at any distance. It's going to look even better with some stripes and a few coats of wax.

Man I can't wait! My second thoughts I had before about tungsten have all transformed into confidence that I chose the best color.

Thanks for the pics.

Nice ride.

Ponyboy beat me to it, but I'll say it anyway. You waited too long for that car and I would hate to see you lose that car to a body shop for a couple of weeks because someone slamed the door to the garage a the bike fell. Protect the car, get rid of the bike!

Congrats :banana2: :banana2: :banana2: :banana2: :banana2: :banana2:
