I hated my choice of hsg... so much so that I SOLD IT!!!!
WILL BUY ANOTHER SOME DAY SOON... BUT LOWER BASE PROBABLY COUPE... WITH RED exterior not the "green" they called hsg. VERY DISAPPOINTED.
Odd. There is no color called HSG. There is a color called HGM, Hypersonic Gray Metallic, with an entire thread dedicated to it. So it’s doubly odd that you bought a color that doesn’t exist, and then chose to post here, on a thread for HGM owners to complain that you didn’t know what you were ordering but you do know you overspent on the car you did buy, and then flipped it right away, all in response to a post by @Les Grossman from April 2021, nearly 13 months before HGM was even introduced…
To quote the great Steve Martin... WELL... EXCUSSSSSSSSSSE MEEEEEEEEE! Yes, Hypersonic Grey Metallic. I'm sorry you find it "odd"... but after several people saw it as "green".. as well as myself... I felt that the $101,500 spent on this car, when I didn't get a thrill out of the color.. was a mistake and I corrected it. I'll be sure to check in with you though before any other large investments so I'm certain I'm doing the correct thing. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, however I expect most of us make the effort to insure we like our color choice before spending over $100,000 on a car.
By the way the color is GRAY, even though a tiny hint of green can be seen it you look at it long enough, especially if you are looking for green.
Again I"d like to thank you on behalf of the other people who didn't like the color of the car in person (such as myself) after receiving a SWATCH OF THE COLOR form the dealer and making his (can I still say his?) order on the very first very early order sheet for 2022.... and seeing NO CARS WITH THAT COLOR IN PERSON as it was an new model year color as I am certain you are aware of. Question is, why does this bother you so much? As a Dr... I subscribe two Ativan and call me in the morning... it may help you. Thanks and happy motoring... and worry more about family and yourself than some stupid post that nobody but you cares about.

Boy, did you miss the point by a mile. I don’t think it’s odd at all that you choose not to keep a color you thought you would like and then, when seeing it in the real world for the first time, decided it’s not for you. That seems like perfectly rational behavior to me.
What is odd is that you made a conscious choice to post about it on the one thread dedicated to and populated by people who love the color. That’s oddly aggressive behavior, doctor, perhaps even diagnostically so. It’s even odder that you selected one post on this thread, from 13 months ago, which was before the color was even introduced, to respond to. That took some focused aggressivity. Maybe save a couple of those Ativan for yourself, it might diffuse some of that anger.
P.S. Doctor, I’m pretty sure physicians don’t subscribe, they prescribe (“…I subscribe two Ativan and call me in the morning.”).
Finally finished my HSG the way I like it. I wrapped the A-pillars and top with 3M metallic gloss black. It's a dead ringer to the GM carbon flash black.
Then I had PPF installed on the front half of the car and then ceramic coated the entire car, that includes the 3M wrap, PPF and Jake decal. Added the wingless carbon flash painted carbon fiber skirts.
Lastly, tinted the side windows, windshield and partition window with ceramic. Dropped it an inch and added the 20mm spacers.
Last thing I have to do now is Cerakote the exhaust tips.
Gorgeous ride!!! What side skirts are those and who makes them?
