So, I've browsing other colors and note how fantastic SGM looks in the bright sun. However, many of the pictures in the shade or diffuse light the paint just looks drab gray, with no zip. quite a few of them do actually

Is this really how this paint looks? or iis it just not very photogenic?
I'm curious in the color but the off-light conditions don't seem very flattering.

 

I think I talked about this in a previous thread. Its really silvery and sleek in the sunny light and at night it looks a bit stealthy. Here are some shots of mine in direct sunny light and another at dusk.

 

Great pics. Restores my belief in SGM over Ingot Silver.

Look at it in person on a cloudy day, almost has a green tint to it.
When i looked at SGM in 2010 it was cloudy, I ended up with Grabber Blue, Made sure I got it after it came back on the 2013

 

I'll play.








I'd have more, but photobucket is being retarded.

 

 

Looks great.

 

yah SGM really pops when it's clean. kinda nice considering gray isn't a color you would describe as "popping." here's my 2010 GT under bright sun just today with the new wheels and suspension on it. i stuck the before and after pics together.

 

I think the photos taken in bright sunlight or somewhat diffused light like on a slightly cloudy day show the color best. It is a "sophisticated" color.

 

The profile before and after shots look excellent. What suspension did you install to get that nice even look around the wheels and fenders?

 

the suspension was actually a packaged deal from LMR: Ford Racing K-series springs, and FR shocks/struts. the springs are 1.5" drop.

 

Thanks for the input on the suspension. I'm saving up for a suspension mod on my stang for this summer. How much did it cost you?

 

here's the link to the suspension package on LMR which is where i got it:

i got it on sale, but it wasn't that much less than the $870 they're asking for it. on top of that i did buy an adjustable panhard bar separately.

 

Loving the pictures- they are making me feel much better about the Sterling Gray GT '14 I currently have a SG '14 on order (ETA 30 May, a day which feels like it is an eternity away). I originally checked Ingot Silver on the order form, but the wife dragged me out to the dealer that night and convinced me to change to Sterling Gray. Since then, I've stopped by the dealer in lots of different lighting conditions, and- depending on the lighting- either kick myself for not going with Ingot or congratulate myself for going with Sterling.

I liked the comment about the Sterling being a "sophisticated" color..., because the '14 is supposed to match the scheme of my '65 coupe- which is another "sophisticated color" (Silver Smoke metallic). On sunny days, Silver Smoke looks bluish, and on cloudy days it looks just a bit green. Both cars will have red interiors. I wish you could custom order colors like back in the day- I would have happily paid Ford an extra $1-2k to have the car done in Silver Smoke.

Anyway, thanks for the SG pics- it does look awesome in the right light!

 

I suppose I should update...
I flip flopped on the color 5 times.
The change on the day before the VIN was for SGM and i now have a track pack recarro car!
Here is the wife and I at purchase date on 20-Apr.
(car is now at the dealer with MT82 shifting issues...)
also car on first day at home

 

Nice pics. What a glorious day for sterling gray for you mister man. Kinda reminds me a little bit of the classic American Gothic painting.

Only night picture I have and its with my old crappy phone.

And the newest one.

Edit: Found another crappy night time pic with my old phone.

I think this guy wins it. Whoever owns this car, I salute you. Great photo.

 

i really like that fog lamp/grille treatment. anybody know what setup that is?
