Re: Need Color Recommedations For 530... (archive)

It is basically what YOU like. I just ordered white w/greu interior. I do not care for the yellow mustard tint in the sand color that my frined has on his. And black is just tooo dark and hot for an interior color. I would have selected ivory if it where like the Lexus ivory but no such luck.

I am also deciding to add the sun screen to my car before it locks in soon for a Sep production. Added just about everything else.
We are down to the final stages...with some restrictions. My wife thinks black gets too hot, I think the beige interior is too yellow...so that leaves grey.

Our current 528 is black with grey interior. What other colors do you think work? We have considered Jet Black, Electric Red, Cosmos Black (my wife thinks it looks dirty), Steel Blue, and Orient Blue. Since the mouldings are body colored and the side/rear lights are clear (right?) a lot of colors may look good.

With white, two blacks, three reds, three blues, three silver/greys, and two greens it would be easy to pick a color. Help!!!

Thanks,

David
