Thanks everyone for helping me get to this point in one piece!

Nice optioned car but if you'll see my earlier post the stock Conti tires are CRAP. Do yourself a huge favor and don't wait 8,000 miles like I did. Change over to Michelin PS 2s now. If you wait like I did you'll then change and say "Damn..why did I wait to do this?"

Come spring time, I will take the wheels off as is, and put on HREs with the PS2's. The conti's life on my car will be very short lived.

I suppose after seeing the car at different times of day, you could say that it has a blue hue to it. In direct sunlight it just looks like a straight grey, but otherwise I can see how someone could say that. I was wondering too why it was showing that way on mbusa.
In all I am VERY happy with the purchase. I can tell this car has a lot of untapped power. I haven't pushed this car yet, but this thing can get up and go in a hurry. MY GS had good passing power. THIS is EFFORTLESS. I never thought I could be this satisfied with a car bone stock, but I guess it's possible. The ride is fine, maybe even softer than my GS with 18's. Now I have to find someone to paint the Renntech spoiler with this new color lol. I wonder how long it would take for me to get the paint in!
Thanks again guys!

Looks a lot like granite grey?
Themis- thanks so much for posting pics so fast. I only have a couple of days to change color on my order. It does look a lot like granite grey- am I missing something here? I thought it would be a lot darker.
