I love my SGM especially when it's freshly washed

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.

You need to post the blue wheels. That looks interesting

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.
