Re: 2004 Twilight Blue Right Off the Truck

I'm surprised that other photos haven't been posted. I have some more pre-prep photos taken at another dealer. There are two coupes in these photos. A 6mt with graphite interior and aero, and a 5AT with willow, no aero. These cars still had plastic on them, inside and out and were pretty dusty. I have included one close-up of the front fender showing the metallic nature of the color. I have another showing a glimpse of the willow interior against the blue of the door frame.

Re: 2004 Twilight Blue Right Off the Truck

I just called up my dealer...I think I'm re-ordering from dp to tb...he just laughed at me because I already changed the color from cb to dp and now to tb! I could'nt help it though...that color of a 6mt in the bay with the ghraphite interior and orange brembros is just S-I-C-K!!!
That's good by the way

Re: 2004 Twilight Blue Right Off the Truck

Not bad I guess but it doesn't really strike me as all that cool. Maybe looks better in person than in pictures.

Re: 2004 Twilight Blue Right Off the Truck

It looks more bad than cool if that makes sense. I just like it with the orange of the brembros and the bright silver of the rims....they seem to set it off. It looks like the sort of color that you just want to obsesively wash and wax...oddly a positive for me.
I just hope in person it looks more like it does in bmw5's pics than it does in the ones I found. Bmw5 would you say this is true, that your pic do the color better justice?

Re: 2004 Twilight Blue Right Off the Truck

I think the pictures pretty accurately represent what the color looks like. I will say it is a very dark blue. Certainly one of the darkest I've seen. I think it will look different under various lighting conditions. Unfortunately all I've seen so far are dirty cars with a lot of shipping materials still on them. I haven't been able to see a nice shiny one.
I had previously seen TB on other Q45s and G45 sedans, and I don't know if it's me or just the different lines of the coupe, but the color didn't seem quite as dark on the coupe as what I remember from the other vehicles.
I'm hoping mine (an S-order) gets delivered next week. Then I'll have some ""real" pictures.

Yea, I know what you mean. I saw the color on a what I think was a slightly used q45 and it looked very drab and boring. That's why I didn't order tb. But from the pics you have posed the color looks dark but vibrant...

Re: 2004 Twilight Blue Right Off the Truck

Well, I saw the color today on the G35 sedan. It was a bright and sunny day and TB only looked ever so slightly blue and in only a couple spots. Overall, I'd say it's 95% black and 5% blue.
If your in to it then cool, go for it, but be warned it is very very dark.

Re: 2004 Twilight Blue Right Off the Truck

I saw it today also...it was on 2002 g20 or i35 (I forget wich one). Also across the street they had new nissan muranos and maximas and they looked to be the same shade of blue.
It does look just like bmw5's pics...it's simply one of the most beautfull colors nissan has right now imho. Yes, it's dark overall but it still clearly appears blue to me....just very dark. But what makes the color are the spots and corners of bright, rich blue that show through on sunny days if the car is nice and clean. The blue has much more life to it then some other dark blues I've seen from audi and bmw. Also at night I'm sure the car with look fantasic under the street lights, just like black.

For me I couldn't even imagine having my g in any other color, even if I have to wait another 4 months! My dealer thinks I'm insane at this point...

Re: 2004 Twilight Blue Right Off the Truck

I would say this is a pretty good example of tb on a sunny day (from what I've seen):
