They are the smoked ones from aero tect. I was surprised how dark they are.

lexXxus13, do yours not look that dark?

 

Here is first pic (sorry for picture quality). Got new whl!! Oh Thanks John!

 

I asked this before and don't know if it got answered....

HOW HARD IS THE PAINT TO MAINTAIN????

I have owned a black car and it is hell for swirls and imperfection. Usually darker colors are. But how does Smoky Granite hold up? Are swirls noticeable?

Plan on getting a IS250 and torn between colors.

Thanks

 

I dont think so. Attached is a pic of mine. Maybe just the lighting but I swear yours look darker.

 

mine gets dusty easily and you always see it, so I have to dust it every couple of days or so. I like the color, there's a tad bit of blue to it.

here's mine:

 

very nice BISDAKR! looks great with CR kai! is ur car lowered?

 

thanks, yes lowered on tein CS

 

What size and offsets are your CR Kai's? I have a set on my 300ZX that I was thinking about putting on the IS.

Here is my contribution:

 

Apart form the dust. Does the paint swirl?

 

what rims are these and size? they are so sick!

venzon, i havent noticed any swirls yet either and iv had my car for about 4 months now.

 

How do you like your CS's? What settings are you on? How's the ride on the settings you chose? Thanks in advance for your reply.

 

i got a whole crap load of swirl marks i need to figure a way to get of them =[

 

The paint is easy to maintain. First, I use one of those car dusters when mine gets a little dusty, keeps the car clean and no scratches. Second, I wax once a month with Meguiars NXT, and I use their spray detailing solution about once a week to maintain the shine. Doing all of the above, I have not even one swirl mark anywhere on the paint! Awesome quality if you ask me!

 

Ok, got a question for all Smoky Granite owners... What tint to get??? I have an appt Friday at my local tint shop and I am thinking about getting 35% on both side doors and 20% in back? Will this look ok? What do others have here with this color?

 

i never understood why people have different % tint on fron and rear windows. looks odd
