Thanks aalencar. But I see the same thing as Jimmy - more grey in sunlight (second pic) and more blue in shade. If it looks like the the second pic 75% of the time, I’m sold. Given that’s its sunny 90% of the time in SoCal, it just might work out

Hahaha. You guys are probably right. My wife says I only know seven colors. Glad she pushed me to GBM... I had to hear the famous “I told you...†when I got home with the car yesterday.

A strong sunsetting sunlight pic... I see both grey & blue which is basically the beauty of this color.

Welcome!

Honestly whatever color anyone chooses, it'll look great!

I have seen in person GT3.2 in Black, Miami, White, Sapphire, and Guards so far.... they're all stunning!

My initial choice was actually Chalk back in March... but here are some more eye GBM candy with a temporary "4.0" on my doors.

I saw it for the first time over the weekend. It's definitely more grey than blue and you have to be a couple of feet away in order to see the metallic. If you like grey, it's a nice color, but it's not for me. i don't really get chalk or fashion grey either, but to each his own!

Not the best pic but shows off the color pretty well IMHO. To my eye it can look "flat" in low light (indoors) AND "washed out" in really bright sunshine, but the blues really show well in more "natural" light, whatever that means, lol.

^Love it with platinum wheels! And the red brakes go well with the red tailights.

Agree, GBM looks better with the platinum wheels, especially in low light.

Well this pic confirms my original thought, Definitely going with GBM with Platinum Wheels and Standard brakes

Just saw the color for the first time today when one was left with us. To me, it is the blue version of chalk. A pastel color that has different attitudes in different shades of light. In some light it looks more blue. Other light: gray, etc.

I like it.

I saw one at the factory. Very understated color albeit rare since this is the first time around. Certainly not a show stopper like vodoo or golf blue. Given the scarcity of PTS slots it may be a good choice.

love this color and think it looks great in every light condition. I really like how muted the metallic flake is.

Over 5k miles now...actually 5300+ and still loving it.



The new high-revving fast-revving 4.0 is such a great motor.... a wise pick up for any of you still planning for a .2 GT3 (or GT3RS).

RL Marketplace is littered with sub 500 mile ones that are being flipped by their owners. Nice to see you actually used what you bought!
