I love the Shark Blue but to be honest, it is a bit bold/bright. I felt like it needed some black to balance it out a bit. Couldn’t be happier with the end results. Next touch is a set of BBS FI-Rs to complete the look!
Very nice! I love the look. I am a fan of silver wheels but with this particular spec, I perhaps would have gone with black ones.

Dunno what “clearplex” is or if you edited the pictures but that is not the Shark Blue I know.

Its -10mm from stock. Didn’t want to do too much until I get my toe links installed. I’ll probably go another -10mm.

Their in-house photog took these and yes, it washed out the color a bit 🤷🏻‍♂️

ClearPlex is like PPF for your windshield. I hit the canyons and it’s a must have IMHO.

Im ordering a black set but Supreme can do custom finishes and I love the way brushed black looks.

If you haven’t seen it in person, save your judgement. I haven’t met anyone yet that didn’t buckle at the knees when they see it.

I was shuffling cars at dusk and the headlights of the Cayenne kinda lit up my car. I just thought it was an (accidental)cool pic.

Misanthropic much? Of course we're all entitled to our opinion, but as I was enjoying everyone's good wishes and the obvious pride of the owners of SB cars this post sure ruined the mood.....But not for long.

Just my opinion.

I just don’t understand it, Bob. Perhaps it’s meant as a joke but nobody laughed? Why would a person that didn’t like Shark Blue visit and read a thread titled “Shark Blue”? Perhaps these negative comments on a thread of joy and celebration is an obvious cry for help? If I were a moderator, I would just delete that insipid stuff.

Easy stuff; I’m changing all of them as they come up.

Eventually I’ll post a sticky with all the links.
