Joe post a photo of the new one it could be the clear coat they used on the newer batches giving it the purple tint.

One of the original problems with b92 was the purplish color. They are supposed to be black. I am surprised the purple looking one made it out of the factory.

There was a picture posted here back when b92 was on constraint. It was originally posted on another forum. I personally did not mind the look, but gm qc did not lol.

Not my cup of tea I can see why the QC issue came up. on a black/silver/white or neutral color car you could tolerate it I suppose but on a red car or something it would look horrible IMO.
