Such a pretty color. Sometimes I wish I went with it, but I really like the CR interior and didnt want to go with the Superman look.

Nice looking car dude.

You'll start noticing your car will change color under different lighting conditions.

Sunlight, it's a bright blue with hints of green. At night, it's a really deep, dark blue. In parking garages, it looks almost purplish like Interlagos blue. I love it.

very true - i notice the car looks purplish at night, navy during rain/darker days and gorgeous light blue during the daytime, or under heavy lights

Nice Car and Nice Color... no make that GREAT color.

One wonders how different it is than Montego Blue.



I like the last picture, but would have two hints..

Remember the rule of thirds.

and pay attention to the composition. (Tree comes out the top!)

I agree. That last photo is my favorite! I like how the blue looks there. It was photos like that one that influenced me in choosing Le Mans myself.

Cool video and nice car. Enjoy! I'm having a blast with mine. I really have to do that Performance Center Delivery and/or European Delivery. Looks like fun.

Yeah, I can attest to that! I've had mine for a week now and it's incredible how much the color changes. I like it best the way it's pictured in the OP's last picture, but I have yet to see mine look like that in person. Perhaps it's because New Hampshire isn't exactly bright blue sunny skies this time of year.

Montego is a slightly lighter color.

Any of you Tampa guys ever feel like letting me check out your car? Currently own an s2000 and wanting a 135i coupe. All the dealerships only have verts and I want to check one out before I make a final decision.
