    Re: New vehicle purchase!!

    The flake is almost breathtaking . Every angle the car shimmers and changes appearance slightly. The flake on the plastic / fiberglass panels (side view mirror, spoiler and bumpers) is even more spectacular but overall I love the color. At dusk the car turns into a gray blue color and in the bright sun its bright blue.

    Here is a picture of the spoiler (left) compared to the body paint:

    ^ LOL. I`m glad you took it well. Some things just never come across well in type over the internet. Well, in my case it`s in person sometimes, too. Hmm.

    Back on topic, that metallic is astounding.

    Thanks. Yes it does have the Sync, it makes life a lot easier! I was looking at the 08s and 09s (they`re giving them away right now) but after looking at the new ones, it was no contest!

    Thanks to everyone else as well. I love the flake . I`m sure it`ll get detailed often so pictures of it won`t be scarce .

    A good wash before claying should do the trick.

    What he said. Congrats on your purchase! Be sure to get some pictures! These cars come from Mexico and arrive in the states by rail, so rail dust could be quite significant and you`ll want to remove that (by claying) ASAP so they don`t form into rust spots. Good luck!
