Just 3M yellow vinyl... I stenciled it and had a friend cut to fit. Here's another view:

Yeaahhhhhh, no. Not wanting to start a debate, but there are a lot of folks who don't care for GBM at all. All personal preference and all that matters is that the owner loves it.

As is the case with virtually every color out there.

Exactly. Though it seems that a few of the new colors like GBM, Chalk and Miami are a bit more polarizing than the standard colors.

I vacillated on my color choice forever as I missed PTS, but ultimately went GBM (car is almost to US port). Its a strange color for sure, which is why I went with it. Its not "safe" as its a polarizing color - not everyone will call it beautiful, but I think it would be hard for anyone to say its not "classy". I personally like it a lot better with lighter wheels. Hard to find something that wasn't too common, or too loud because I didn't want to be "that guy". Guess I'm getting old.

It is great we have choices. Congrats on an awesome car!

GBM must be seen in person preferably out in the wild. In pictures often looks "strange". In real life it's an absolutely stunning color. I always do a double take when I see GBM in the wild. It's a shame it is no longer available.

I’m picking up the Sapphire Blue GT3 from Beachwood tomorrow, we just missed each other!

i saw you pickup your your car and leave. You are from Pittsburgh right? I am surprised your wife or girlfriend accompanied you for the ride. My wife hates me driving my car. Kids love it though!
