Ditto. I like the stealthy exterior look, and you can buy a lot of beer with the $500 or whatever it is that you saved by going with the gray calipers.

Let me tell ya folks... the OP's pics are some of the most accurate pics of Shark Gray I have seen. And the outdoors pics with surface reflections are spot on.

Only thing missing in the pics are the dazzle of the metalflake in direct sunlight. This is easily seen by everyone... EXCEPT FOR A CAMERA for some reason???

Plz confirm: are those the GT Buckets (standard) or the Competition Sport Buckets (optional)? Sure look nice!

Great looking ride. I find most grey or silver cars to be rather boring and dull but shark grey has me pondering.

Your car looks amazingly different with the top out and the red inside showing vs all closed up!

The more I see of shark grey, the more I like it. Your car looks so clean and smooth-nice job of picking out colors and wheels. In time I think people will not miss cyber grey as much since shark grey is a great alternative.
