I like it, myself, but I think this is a love it or hate it color for the most part. I had an opportunity to buy this color with prem. pkg., but passed to order what I wanted. Still waiting...

That was actually the first color I saw on the road when these cars first came out. I think it's an alright color, just not my style. Congrats on the car though.

GREAT COLOR! It's actually what I wanted originally and think it's very classy but my wife hated it so we got breakwater blue instead which she loved and was my 2nd choice. It also happens to be the 2nd most controversial color for the new IS. My only recommendation is to get some darker colored rims like the G spiders or ISP's since the bright flat silver finish of the stockers don't really match the sophisticated nature of your color choice.

I like it, but not enough to get it over a few other colors I like better.

Default have a question about the pic i posted

i just had joined this website about a week ago and then posted the picture the weekend after
it was hard for me to post this picture as it kept saying that the picture file size was to large
so i had to settle with this small one
i was looking around today and notice that people have huge pictures of there cars
i was wondering how u go about doing this with the picture size restrictions
if any one could help thanks

.bmp files are huge, save your pictures in .jpg format instead. That should be enough on its own, but if you have Adobe Photoshop CS2, use the "Save for Web" option - that really squeezes the bytes down.

Of the 10 color options the IS comes in, I give that a 1 on a scale of 1-10. My least favorite, but that being said, you still can't hide the beautiful lines of this car. I'm waiting for my Matador Red, at least you have yours.
