Yes they are but only because they are in the shade.

Thanks! I've always wanted a blue car but not a lot of blues stood out. I didn't want a bright blue like montego. I wanted something classier, but not black. So I chose this blue. I've always liked Le Mans though, just didn't like the fact that I had to get the M Sport pack to get it.

Nice shots of a nice car, chrome grills look great on that colour.

1013mm · 03-10-2009, 09:53 AM

And here I was thinking about swapping the grills... I thought it was too much chrome..

Everyone's different, but I changed to black grills on my Le Mans Blue and though it made the car look a bit cheaper

HOTTT! Very nice prepping the car for the photoshoot. Are those mtec whites or blues?

arok · 03-10-2009, 10:57 AM

good stuff, the only thing i'd say is to get a circular polarizer to reduce reflections/glare

ssabripo · 03-10-2009, 11:26 AM

what angel eye bulbs are you running? GP thunders?

Thanks ahha. It's the blues, but I've decided to save for some brighter LEDs, the MTECs are only that visible during the day because it was partially cloudy. The prepping took a grueling two days within a week. It was 2 washes, a wax on the whole car top to bottom, and some touch up wax after. Still thinking about a second wax and hood prep. Oh, and the interior was preped too front and back.... By back still hurts heh.. seems worth it though. My mom was jealous that she couldn't keep her BSM 3 in the same condition

Thanks. I like your photos too. The car was washed and waxed so well that I couldn't even put a dent in the heavy reflections ahah. I will try a polarizer next time though. It might make my car even bluer though hehe.

since there are quite a bit of responses about the MTEC Cosmos Blue angels here is a disappointing photo of them on and in direct sunlight.

Not as bright under shade and at night. I like them since they are white, but at they just aren't as bright as the OEMs... $$$$ LED time..
