Thank you! Trust me, the iphone pics don't come close to capturing the color. I'm completely enamored with it.

Uber3er · 03-21-2013, 04:42 PM

Congrats

Curt2000 · 03-21-2013, 06:05 PM

Awesome! Looking forward to the ED thread with canon shots!

Mr. ///M3 RD · 03-21-2013, 06:26 PM

Looking forward to your photo shoot ... have fun at the auto show!

chris s · 03-21-2013, 07:41 PM

psyched you're in NJ so i can finally see this color in person. Almost purchased one of these in January. Congrats...looks amazing!

llis · 03-21-2013, 08:08 PM

Gorgeous!

BTW another reason your pics may seem off is that the Welt has lighting with at least 2 different color balances, plus the daylight from outside. Every angle you're getting a different mix. I found it maddening when I was looking through my pics!

Congrats, and hang in there during the long wait!

Whereabouts in NJ are you? I'll try to make it to one of the meets. I usually hit a few Cars & Coffee type things a year.

I could not agree more. Completely maddening... The shots I took with the Canons came out much better, but still off a little.

Ugh, the wait... This has to be the worst part!

I'll make a new thread once I find the time to do a proper write up, but here are two iPhone vids that I uploaded last night.

Lagua Seca Blue was to be my favorite color!

I really want to do a shoot with my car and my friend's LSB E46 M3 once I get the car here. I've never seen the colors next to eachother!

Nice vids! But pro tip for next time: Shoot phone videos in landscape rather than portrait so we actually get a decent view rather than a super narrow angle on our widescreen displays with the rest wasted on black space.

I know, trust me I know... I was so pissed when I reviewed the videos and realized my n00b mistake.

I'm so pumped to hear how great this color looks in person. Keep those pictures coming if you have them.

Its_lobelt · 03-22-2013, 05:47 PM

Amazing color. I hope you enjoy it in good health.

I've been really busy since getting back, but was able to process the bulk of my shots over the weekend. I hope to get the writeups done sometime this week, but got some quick shots from the trip up in the meantime.

Larger pics, and a few more from the trip are up here:
