I guess the grass always looks 'greener' on the other side!

There are LOTS of different 'silvers' out there! My ride is 'VSM' (NH583M New Vogue Silver Metallic) and none of the local shops carry it - gotta buy it over the web, or special order it. But, it's worth it!

Not knocking anybody, but IMHO Barbecue Black is a kludge!

I'd rather leave it unpainted...

I actually cut about 6-7 inches off the bottom so that it would fit on the car. __________________
