wednesday, from a few yards away, do the turn signals on yur side mirrors look bright?

You know I haven't really looked at them from a distance, I will try to take a look today and post my findings. BTW, GFM is much more unique than the starfire I think. You don't see nearly as many. They also look amazing in motion, catch my eye every time!

GFM is just amazing, I hope they continue to use it! I just don't think there is a nicer color anywhere.

Anyway on your question about the turn signals, they are noticable from that distance but not overly bright. You don't need to look at them.

The biggest difference is the content of blue mica flake in Glacier Frost Mica vs. Starfire Pearl. Glacier Frost is much more "creamy" and "blue" as you can see in the picture below: (Glacier Frost on the left, Starfire Pearl on the right)



Another comparison picture, with Glacier Frost on the right:

idk if you guys have seen the movie, "untraceable", but there was an iS in it and the setting of when you see the iS was cloudy and i kno from a distance, my car which starfirepearl looks grayish due to the clouds and the iS in "untraceable" looked to be GFM or Starfirepearl. im just wondering if its starfire pearl or gfm
