Default Shark Grey vents.

I picked up my car at the NCM on Tuesday. As part of the delivery you get a tour of the factory. As we reached the end of the line, I saw a Shark Grey car coming off that had Shark Grey vents. The day was so packed that I don't remember other details, but I think it was a vert. It was interesting. Wish I could have seen it outside in the daylight.

I'd have to see a shark gray car with body colored vents, but just off the top of my head I would think that the black vents would look better just for the contrast.

Shark Gray vents are a new option for 2015.

I agree, the CF vents add a nice contrast.

I was thinking that the vents you were referring to were these:

As I said I don't remember if it was a vert, but the side and hood vents were body color (shark grey). I guess it could be either of the above options (EFY or EFX) in this case. But I hadn't heard if any body color vent cars were being produced. I just thought I would note what I saw, a shark grey car with shark grey vents has indeed been produced. It should pop up somewhere in a couple of weeks. I think they were up to VIN number over 4000.

Body-colored vents (EFY) are not available for the Shark-Gray or the Black car.

Shark-Gray vents (EFX) are available however...

The two vent-color options were a late addition to the Order Guide on August 18, so they should be showing up in showrooms pretty soon.
