Default Pics from Conzelman Rd.

Had some free time today and decided to drive to Conzelman Rd in South Marin. Wish it was more sunny today but the drive was still fun, took some pictures with my phone (raw pics, didn't edit). Car is pretty stock, these are probably the last stock pics I'll take until I lower it and get wheels. It was my first time driving Conzelman Rd, surprisingly there was a lot of traffic I guess its a tourist spot. I recommend this place if you are looking for a fun and scenic drive

Excellent scenery and pics. However, those blue overlays need to go. They look very out-of-place on the car.

Everything's looks good except those fog light overlays, maybe if they were yellow it would look better but nice car and pictures! Happy New Years!

Yeah I know, I ordered different ones. Those were frm Rvinyl and from the pic description they "were" optic blue but they weren't. So the ones from aerotect will be going on this week.

Nice pics! Your car in the pic looks like Smokey granite Mica. I don't think i've seen truffle mica off the dealership lot yet, or maybe I did and thought it was SMG.

Its really close to SGM at night and on cloudy days. The sun really needs to be out for you to notice the brownish/purplish hint in the paint I thought it was SGM when I first saw it on the lot, until the salesman told me it was Truffle Mica.

Love the Truffle Mica paint!

Been down the road a few times. Very scenic. Curious to what you are lowering the IS on and what kind of rims your getting.

I am thinking about going with F-sport springs after all. The car is my daily driver and I have a REALLY steep driveway and I barely have 2" clearance on stock height. As for wheels I am still deciding between a few: axis, volk rays, or buddy club.
