Depending on the lighting it goes from Grey to Silver. REALLY shows the lines of the car. It looks like a fine piece of art.

Thank you! I had the transmission software upgraded right away. Clear bra (matte) on nose and windshield early next month to start. No engine mods until warranty is up. You need to move closer
