Why yes I do live in wonderful 4 lakes, I'm back in the townhome section. If the WS6 you saw was silver that was probably me. Yeah, when you get the car back let me know, would love to see it. Hopefully by then I might have my own QS

the tint is going to look better on the silver than the blue. will look awesome on blue too but just better on the silver imo.

Both were my color options, however I chose QS. I don't think you'll be disappointed either way.

I bought mine off e-bay in 04, Siler 02 Z. Every color was availible, second choice was black then blue,yellow, red .Don't like red.
Silver was first choice. Since my 68 SS Chevelle, and 70 Roadrunner were Silver, The more you have the more like it.
