Best color by far.

Very nice. The black roof really balances out this body design and the color is perfection.

This color looks awesome.

Why does it look like it has a bit of blue in it?

 

[2JZ-No-Sh*t]

Everyone on the Z facebook groups keeps calling it shinny primer lol. ?

Man this is really challenging my top choice which is Blue. I really hope NY don't cancel the Auto Show this year again.

Dude is sitting in MY car!!! Just the way I'd option it ?

No you're fine lol. I see a big difference in paint tone between the walkaround segment and the final segment when the guy opens the door - in the latter the blue tint is completely gone. This even though the paint is a solid according to the leaked dealer sheet.

Judging from this photo it looks like there's flake in it. The quality isn't very clear and not quite close enough, but you can see what looks like all the tiny specks on the left side around where the light is directly. Someone that goes to the show needs to do a proper superclose up with flash on.

Well now…what do they call early 2022?
In my books it would be first three months of the year…but will it be?
And around $40000, well 45000k is still around 40 …clarity would be good
