Default Bluish Gray Metallic

Aww come on, there must be someone else out there with this color. I was gonna repaint it another color at first, but I've come to like it a lot. Does anyone else have one or had one but painted it? I have yet to see one. I feel special but at the same time I need some inspiration...

EDIT:
It's a Silver Spruce Metallic, not Bluish Gray Metallic as I originally thought... Seriously, WTF kind of color is spruce? LOL

Do you mean silver spruce metallic? Like this? It is a rare color, only offered in 92, 93, 94.

Hmm... now I don't know... I'm looking at the chart here:
And I think the bluish gray metallic matches my car more than the spruce.
Grrrr... okay, is the color code hidden somewhere on my car? I been looking for it... lol

Nevermind found it... yeah its the Silver spruce metallic... LOL
Anyway, anyone got one that has a kit on it? I want to see if it looks any good with aftermarket or 97+ aero kits, or if I should just repaint it another color...

I felt the same way when I first bought it back in early 2000, but then I got more compliments on the color of the car and now I think it is one of the best colors they offered in an SC, I have a platinum 98 sc4 too but I love the silver spruce color more. It looks extra hot when you wax it up real good, sparkles like a diamond. Someone here has the 97+ kit on a SS, search under silver spruce.

Yeah, I'm starting to dig the color. In the night light, looks almost gunmetal, but then looks to have a nice light color in the daylight. I'm gonna have to search for that 97+ spruce because that's one of the things I was planning to do...

It's a chameleon color. Park it in the woods, it looks green. Park it near the water on a clear day, it looks blue. And it doesn't show the dirt as badly as darker or lighter colors.

Looked at the door code, I got a Bluish Gray Metallic.

Maybe not the most inventive name, but hey.

I think it looks good.

I like it when SSM looks gray/silver.
