I don't know what you mean by flop, but I agree on what you said, here is a very good picture of my car that will support your claim. I actually got all nuts when I first noticed and thought my car was repainted. From the other angle, it all looks the same. It's somewhat annoying.

Exclamation

LP vs. BS = Name Change.

Come on guys, like there is a difference. All I see is one SWEET COLOR!

I'll never understand why everyone see's IP like it's a pole dancer and ignores BS or LP

Just me, but SILVER (any shade) was MADE for this car. The contrast of the silver and black is S.W.E.E.T period.

Ok, I've said my peace.

And oh yeah, Yes I know my Profile name is "White on Wheat". That's what I thought was sweet looking until I went to the dealership for the first time and saw Brillant Silver on Willow. I'm in LOVE!! HA.

hey...how'd those pedals work out for ya? how much of a pain was it to get the fogs in? i just had to replace my h1's again because the luminics that i put in blew out...i guess i got some grease from my fingers onto them during installation. anyway, i guess the baby's a few months old now, and maybe you are getting in some more restful nights.

just put on splashguards and have wheels coming in on friday. hope to get them on and post pics. take care and i hope all is well.

flop is exactly that. it's a body shop term that refers to the way the metallics lay. the variance comes from many things, the pressure at the nozzle of the spraygun, the angle the gun was held at, the distance from the gun to the panel. anyway, i don't think i've seen one lp g that doesn't have this issue.

Desert Platinum is nothing like Liquid Platinum. DP is really between Serengeti Sand and Brilliant Silver and looks like this:
Thanks for the correction Finiti, then is my friend`s car LP or its actually a BS ? his G is 06 and its color is soo light !!! , next time i`ll read his color code under the hood, today i parked next to him to get some shots.

P.S. the one with the rims is the 06.
