Default Some sunny day pics of Sapphire Blue

Hi all,

Here are some pictures in full sunlight of Sapphire Blue the day after I got the car. Still absolutely thrilled with the color choice and platinum wheels. I personally feel that the black wheels hide the beauty of them.

Take care,

Eric

Mine's going to look precisely like that on the outside, too!
Early December...


On a related note, my son saw one at night on the highway and told me it was spectacular at night, too.


Cheers

Definitely platinum. Black wheels are unmistakably black even in bright light.

These are the most representative pics of SBM I think I've seen here. It really is very bright in direct sunlight.

From the get-go, I wanted mine SBM - when I was a little kid, I painted my bikes, go-carts, mini-bikes, motorcycles metallic blue.

As a grown up, I painted my racing helmet metallic blue/silver.

I'd never had a metallic blue car, and this will be it. My wife and other kid looked at these photos and were just slack-jawed.

However, the sheer number of SBM GT4's has at times given me pause. I read a poll on the defunct GT4 site and it looked like 18-19% would be SBM; I get the impression here that it might be more than that.

So - though SBM is my favorite color, and this thread is evidence that it is absolutely stunning, I think that there will be lots around, and it won't be that unique. If this were not going to be THE blue car, I'd get a different color.

Cheers
