I wasn't to sure about this color.But coming from black it looks like it's going to be really easy to keep clean.And only my 2nd day with this baby and man she sure does shine.And the chrome wheels really liven up the whole look. I've never been a fan of chrome til now.

Congrats on the new ride! I think you hit the nail right square on the head when you said how silver "shines". IMHO...keeping a silver car "shined up" is the key. Since silver doesn't really show dirt as much as a darker color, some folks tend to let it go a little longer between cleanings...leading to dulling (if that's a real word). Keep that baby shined up and you'll be enjoying a sharp ride for a very long time. Good Luck!

It's not much of a head turner but it doesn't show the dirt.

Silver was not my first choice, but I'm very happy with it.

I love chrome wheels and had them on my 92 and my 00 but was thinking about black wheels for my new car. Got a great deal from a friend on chrome wheels from an 08 so now I have chrome again. I'm not real sure how they look on the car....I've had them less than a week.

Congratulations on YOUR new car!!!

Silver also shows the lines much more than any other color.

And BTW Maui, heads turn each and every time I drive my silver vette down the street.
