/\ Steel Blue mica. That was one of my previous color choices. A local friend of mine had his car painted that color before I got my painted, so I changed colors.

I took alot longer to get it to paint then anticipated. I was going to paint my sedan steel blue mica over a year ago, but it never happened.
If you notice the gap between the bumper and the grill, that's why I didn't get the ver 6 grill, it's not as clean IMO.
Same painter.
it looks great on his car. and I can't complaint about my color selection, I really love both colors on this car! But I like mine better, it's darker and looks much better on my subi than on the evo. it brings out the curvy body lines very well.

I'm now trying to find a front lip, I like this one, Just don't know best way to get it.
I'm kinda under the weather right now, and I lost my voice, but I still have to wait for the paint guy to finish up this weekend, so I can focus on getting better. I'm glad there's not much I can do until it's all painted, or I'd be frustrated.
plays well with others

how awesome would it be if your baby was born the same day your car was completed (came out of paint or something)
