The color is awesome. Kinda like Nassau Blue on steroids. The exhaust sounded great too.

Sorry, I'm not seeing much difference between that and Nassau Blue, since the camera has a dark filter on it from the sun glare, which causes the car to look darker... do you have any still photos without the filter!

Regardless, it looks great!

You asked me if he would mind if you posted it, you didn't ask if you should be patient for Adrian to post himself. Haha

Monterey Blue is darker than Nassau Blue and doesn't have as much green in it.

What a color the monterey blue is. It is hard to capture it on camera or video it has to be seen in person to understand just how awsome that color is. Here is a pic of a monterey blue lambo, these D2FORGED wheels and a lower drop and it would be over:
