I really like this color, but it seems to be just a hair lighter over the plastic pieces (front and rear bumpers, and the small panels behind the doors. Is it just me?

Strange that it's not noticeable to the naked eye. Only in pics. Weird.

I was a little concerned after mr965 posted his pics but after delivery of mine, he is correct. It is not visible to the naked eye. I really tried to see a difference but I couldn't. Must have something to do with the way the camera lenses are treating the color on plastic. The intensity of the sunlight really plays with this color.

I agree that it is camera related. I've taken photos of the color on different models, looked at the photo, looked at the car, and they image on the phone looked way different than me staring right at the car.

These photos are from Friday when mine arrived, in this light you don't see any variation. I sent it to get xPel wrapped and I haven't even driven it yet, still trying to hide it from my wife until this weekend.

Interesting how much this color varies depending on the lighting conditions. If those white cars weren't behind the ZL1, you might think it's silver.

Congrats! Nice ride! We match. I wish I could bring mine with me when I visit my son in Durham and drive up to VIR

Picked it up from tint\Xpel place today. I see what mr965 meant about the multiple pieces of film on the front clip. I guess that's how the cut sheets are designed in the computer, but they did a very good job of marrying up the seams so I'm ok with it. If the sun comes out this weekend I'll take some photos. Need to get those blackout tail lights though !
