Just ordered the first mod

I'll probably be closer to a decision on it after I get the side scoops on (more likely after that and the AMR rims.)

I know. Black was my first choice but the one I was after got sold before I pulled the trigger on the purchase. Fortunately a friend of mine was driving a '12 rental in black (thanks to the tragic loss of her Sentra.) and it showed every bit of grime that came into contact. I'd have to live next door to a car wash to keep it looking nice so I was kind of waffling. The salesman I was working with was, fortunately, a prescient man and had lined up a sterling gray that he could get me. They had a GT convertible on the lot and it looked good on a cloudy rainy day so I said /cringe, let's do it.
I'd committed to writing the single largest check I've ever written.
Then I took delivery on a cloudless summer day and saw the thing in sunlight. It's like looking at a stealthed starship the way your eyes can't seem to quite get the silhouette. And then you get behind the wheel and realize you can't really see where the car ends and the road begins.
It's still turning heads everywhere I go.

You most certainly are no crazy. Today was a very bright winter day in the northwest and it was happening again. When driving down the interstate I couldn't tell where the end of the nose was thanks to the finish and the reflections.

So I'm waiting for the side scoops to come in and I'm trying to figure out the easiest and cheapest way to "gray out" the exhaust tips. Those and my license plate frames are about all the chrome left on the exterior and I'm trying to get rid of that. The license frames are easy but what's the best way to go on the exhaust (without getting a new one, that's a bit off as I want the cosmetic stuff done first.)

You can get powdercoating in pretty much any color you ca, think of, and in various stages of gloss.
