Thanks, graphicguy! I'm trying to decide between the blue and the gray so the more pics of either color the better!

Don't think you can go wrong with either color choice. I favor the blue personally

Great pics and great color! Congrats!

Were the pics before or after Zaino? How you liking the leather so far? Did you use the Zaino leather cleaner on them as well?

This was before Zaino. It's been hot and steamy around my 'burg. I thought the leather would be "clammy". It's not.

A/C works fine in 95 degree, humid weather.

I finished a Zaino job yetsterday, including the leather treatment. My digicam isn't the best. I'll try to post more pics since I've put a couple of coats of Zaino on it.

My camera doesn't do the blue justice. The metalflake in the paint really shows in person.

No camera does the blue justice. When I first saw the winning blue in person at the dealership, it was NOTHING like any picture I have seen. Very metallic looking. Outstanding!

Had I seen that color before I ordered my titanium, I would have ordered the blue.

The winning blue is indeed very metalic and difficult to get a good handle on....even in the brochure. I was stunned by it when I saw it in person.

That said, I still think mica red, Titanium and winning blue are "THE" colors.

Of course, even if the car were "Mary Kay pink", I'd still love it.

Thumbs up

Thanx for the new Desktop backgrounds.
I'm sold on the winning Blue and I have'nt even seen it in person yet! But I did get to see a Velocity Red mica at the dealer yesterday. The metallic flecks in that color dont show up in any pics either. Wow that was stunning in person. When my coworker & I showed up the sales rep had the hood open and the customer was amazed that there was indeed an engine underneath the plastic cover. So I reached over and pulled the cover off, much to the shock of the sales rep. I wish I had my camera with me for that.
