There's at least one '89 GT in Venetian Blue as well, but I don't know the story behind it.

Here's a couple of pics my non metallic '85 Dunkelblau (DarkBlue) shark. Color can look really dark, but in the light has a nice blue to it.

It will probably look silvery in the sun and (relatively) darker blue at night

Here you go...Diamond Blue Metallic. It does closely match silver, but will change shades in the sunlight. Very nice color for these cars....but I'm a bit biased

richard, that is the color! looks so much like silver. i fell in love with the pics when i bought the car but it seems like its such a subtle blue that you really have to see it in person to notice the blue. that electric blue is funky. i would never have picked it but now its growing on me...

The clear corner and side markers really look good with this color as well, plan on changing out the stock ones if it hasn't already been done. Post your pics as soon as it arrives!
