I love my SGM especially when it's freshly washed

If you need a IS OEM rear wing spoiler please message me. I have no need for it and it just needs a coat of paint and is good to go.


Bottom Clips still good




Sun damage but factory OEM IS-F spoiler




Carbon fiber replacement




Carbon fiber
That's a nice addition. Well yes that's why I am asking. I wanted opinions of people that have seen it in real life. If it has metal flakes I will have to check it out.

I am a fan of the NG. I like both and would certainly take either one.

2008 SGM owner here. At first it wasn't my first choice in paint color, but after owning it for a couple of months I really like the detail in it. It's not flashy so if that's what you are looking for there's Matador and USB, but I prefer the darker color and hated black on my previous cars.

I like the CF accents above as well, I didn't know how they would look but I like it!

I had the Matador red. And it was a fabulous color. I am not so sure I would say it is flashy as would be the USB without a doubt. I have stated this before there is no bad color made for the ISF. This car got **** on for it's styling but there are more people that will be interested in this car than a BMW. One other thing to note is I believe you can bring out a different "hue" of the color depending on how you polish and coat the car.

That Smokey Granite Mica is a very pretty dark color!!

I sure love my Nebula gray Pearl 2012 with Red Interior. It has really grown on me...

I have never owned a black car, so I guess one day I will have to!!

Hard to keep a black kitchen sink clean and pretty, let alone a black car. But when they are

first shined up, they are beautiful!! These black interiors in Texas are no fun in the summer..

95 degrees here today.. Heck of a lot hotter than that from 3 to 6 pm today when I was on the tennis court in Corpus Christi playing tennis in a tennis mixer while visiting my daughter for Father's day....

Black has come a long way since it was the only color Ford originally offered!!

Back then it was not as desirable when that was the only choice....

Cheerio, Zale

I have both colors. SGM ISF and a Nebula Gray IS250 Fsport.

SGM is more a rich color.. More metallic flakes and looks so damn good when clean..

Between the two I would have to say NGP hands down. SFP is my top choice (I have one) but NGP is definitely a strong second if white was never created.
