The official Dark Silver Owner’s Club (DSOC)
Gravel chipped everything in its way including all trim, all glass, headlights, tail lights, sunroof, inside door panel and quarter panel, dash, wheels, etc. Debris dented the entire right side, boot, bonnet, etc. The parts really add up, and then you stack all that labor to replace everything and repair the dents, you wind up with a seemingly outrageous total. As for totalling it... I thought so too, but since there was no structural damage, the cost would have to have been closer to $15k for them to total it.

If only I owned it outright.... I've tried everything I could think of to get the insurance to let me just fix what I wanted and take the cash for the rest, but I can't legally because the lien holder has a right to make me fix it back to new. Oh, well. I'm getting an aero kit cheaper than I ever could out of the deal, though, so that helps.

Is it just me or this like the popular color lately? Everywhere I turn someone else is getting this color!
I specifically ordered my DS/B because it seemed on these forums it wasn't popular ... once it was ordered, everyone seemed to have it or have it on order!
I'm still waiting for mine ...

It is .. but truthfully, I think it's the best color. I have no regrets about ordering it. I admire the other colors but I really like the DS.
Now if only it would get here and let me adore it ..

I'm hoping in the next few months to black out all the chrome, there's a local place that'll do it and I also want to get the matte black or charcoal colored rims. I think then it'll be sexy and dark. I may look into tint for the windows too as they'll probably look naked.

Yeah, minus the stripes. I'm not a fan of them. I think they are great for others but too flashy for me.

Hah! The blacking out is likely to be done by Vinyl Styles they ship all over. That won't be a big deal no matter where you are.

I thought I read somewhere that Lyle was from the Bay Area now I can't find it so I must be imagining it.
