Stu baru

Nice. This color really looks awesome under overcast skies.

Nice...it's an awesome color.

You're right about the rarity, my dealer had to trade to get mine and even then it was for one that was inbound; nobody that had what I wanted was willing to part with it.

Posted these in one of the headlight threads but thought I put them here as well. Shots of the Osram Nightbreaker Unlimirted lows and highs, and the PIAA yellow fogs.

Far east bay like Walnut Creek/Oakley. You?

 

Taking me back to my youth...grew up in Lafayette back in the '70's. Lots of fond memories of that area.

Full marks to the OP, a VERY easy mod even for my large hands.

Congrats on a great choice for a first new car!

Thanks! I went back and forth between this, Twilight Blue, and Carbide Gray. I'm not a huge fan of chrome, so what settled it was that the Tungsten down-played the window trim more than the others.

 

I'm not going to do much, maybe swap bulbs since I got accustomed to the HIDs on my BRZ. The OEM halogens aren’t bad, and don’t suffer from the extreme cutoff of the HIDs, but they just don’t throw the same bright white light. Not sure about tint either, I did it on the BRZ and really can’t say it was money well spent so we’ll see. I swapped the OEM all-weather mats for Weathertech, but otherwise it’s stock.

Weird, pics appear correct in my browser.

So finally took delivery last night and snapped some phone pics to share. A really cool color, as it looks very different depending on the light.

 

Yesterday afternoon at the dealer...

Was surprised to see no one had started a thread for this last color, so I'll do so here. No pics yet as my 2.5i Limited is currently being negotiated as a trade with another dealer that has one inbound due on 11/7. I'm hoping to claim her early next week and will post a pic or two then. In the meantime, if champagne gold was your choice too, have at it.
