Is it just me, or is Toyota not very consistent with their shades of paint? Or is this a special type of paint that really changes with the lighting? I'm hopeing meteorite metallic not a very light silver.

It's not that light when compared to the other shades of silver available outside the US of A.

Lighting combined with a good wash/wax combo makes a word of difference. Out color reflect other colors pretty well too so if there are hints of blue around when taking pictures, it tends to get a blueish hue sometimes.

The Stigs' pictures are great examples. With the blue sky's reflecting off his car it has a bluish hue, but in a white room it's a bit brighter.

At least that is what I have noticed for the 6months I have had my car.

Tough neighborhood, hubcaps got stolen, someone vandelized your emblems and I hate to make matters worse but it looks as if you're leaking something.

Looks good, it's a great color. I can wear what I want and don't have to worry about clashing. It's a simple, neutral color.

So much to do and so much I want to do. My favorites folder is overflowing.

Thanks for the pics.

Nope - the only editing I did was cropping and brightness. I think the shark fin gives it a different profile.

gm830 · 07-13-2007, 10:12 PM

why does yours have a "shark fin"? i was noticing that area looked different compared to other pics, i figured it was more than just lighting...

oh ok i was thinking about something else then, i didn't even notice that fin on the top...i thought it was something on the side of your car because right near the door handle there's a straight line across that stands out more that i don't notice in any other pics, but i guess it's just the lighting
