Ah yes...now I see, Cosmic Blue was replaced with Metropolitan Gray Mica. (Or Silver was replaced, but either way they dropped Cosmic Blue and Silver and added White and Gray.) Cosmic Blue / Gray Mica look about the same to me... meaning I can just replace last place Cosmic Blue with Gray Mica....

Cosmic Blue and Grey Mica look nothing alike. I've seen both in person (not next to each other though) and I can see a huge difference.

comeback- my point and shoot is a canon, its a great little camera, at the time the D50 was cheaper and I liked the kit lens better. Which camera do you have?
I almost bought a true red, it had been sitting around a while then I found out they were making white so I ordered one. I had to wait what seemed like forever to get it, but was only something like 19 days. I had good timing.
Same thing happened to me, I heard about the white ones coming in. Put my name on the one being delivered to a local dealership... just so happened that my car got totalled and it was perfect timing, so I picked up the white one. Almost had the black mica... but I've had the black mica 3i... WAY too hard to keep clean, the white doesn't show it as much heh

i have the canon xt dslr and i use my gf's canon sd750 for a point and shoot. =)
for my car it was between the true red and cwp also. once i saw the cwp in person it was the only color i wanted.

The tint is 15/15/5/15. Sure helps the A/C keep up with the Florida sun. I've put Vent Shades on every vehicle since an '88 Chevy PU. I love 'em. Great for allowing the Florida sun's effects to drain away before I leave work. I did consider in-channel, but didn't wanna wait. What are the "JDM" units?

not a great idea to post your plates online, might wanna edit that out
This is a pretty dumb ? but what is big deal about it, i mean tons of ppl see them anyways when your car is not kept in a garage. Just wondering if there was some story behind it, thats all.

that looks soo good, did you just paint the rims gold or did you have them powder coated. and if painted what kind of paint did you use. I'm just wondering because I wanted to do that to my car.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I cannot take credit for the photos. A good friend of mine who is very quickly becoming a great photog took them. It was right around dusk when the sun just sits on the horizion. The sky was this magnificent blue and it really made for some great pictures. It also helps there's a sexy subject to shoot. I wish he would have sent me pictures he took of other angles, but oh well.

I wash my car once or twice a week so they dont have much of a chance to get really dirty, the fronts are starting to get a little black on the vertical surfaces that I'll have to get a toothbrush in and scrub sometime but they stay pretty good looking.

Did you paint your wheels?? No, Those are the "high gloss" OEM wheels you get with the 08.5 in Canada. I don't think the U.S gets them???

It true though..It'd hard to tell in that picture but they are waaay brighter and even a bit darker, almost a really like gun metal.. I have an 07 and was at the dealership the other day and was like wtf did that person do to their wehels, then I looked at a few other 08.5 and they all had the different wheels.. They look pretty sharp to be honest with you.

Lowered on H&R coilovers. It could be lower. ;)
The fronts have about another 0.5" more adjustment for drop. The rear is maxed out, but it can be lowered another 1/4" more if I remove the locking collar. :D
