Help in selecting exterior

Hello,

Looking forward to ordering a base GT. Decided the interior but totally F***ing torn on the exterior.

Would Designo Grey Magno look better with Chrome Styling Package or with Night Package/Carbon Fibre Package?

Money is not an issue, but the ride quality is, that is why going for a base GT and not an S.

Magno and night pack/ Carbon is the way forward IMO. Understated magno and bright chrome would clash.
And get the upgraded interior it's worth it.

What differences have you noticed in Ride Quality in the GT vs GT S?

Do you think Matte Selenite Grey is a bit too darker as compared to the Matt Selenite that you get on other models? I think it's somehow darker on the GT

It is noticeably harsher in the S.

Weird, you are the first person I have heard say that.

All of my Clients prefer the ride of the GT S in Comfort Mode by far.

Second GT ride being more plush.

How many Car rides are you talking about. ? And a lot of it is a translation of " I want the better car" no?

Depends on wheel choice.....

Black wheels make a mango car look very moody, so Chrome Styling adds contrast and picks out the silver wheel edge.

Silver wheels and Chrome Styling is too silver.

All IMHO

I bought a used Matte car. It wouldnt have been my first choice but I bought it because I liked the car and the deal. let it be known; matte paint is hard to live with. Any little blemish means PAINT the whole panel. No touchups for matte paint. No buffing out.
Paint.
Aside from that, it had gloss CF spoiler, trim, etc. I dont think gloss goes good with matte. Whats the point of some matte and some gloss? So I had all the CF matt-ed. I wouldnt choose any gloss black packages, chrome packages with matte paints.

I think Magno looks fine with the Chrome Styling....

Chrome pack looks like it is for old men
Night pack looks like it is for teenage honda owners

I think the matte paint may get old fast, but I love Selenite Gray

Black wheels are so 2010

Night and CF packages regardless of color.
