Here's mine, it's pretty clear in this shot. Even after over a year, I'm still glad I chose the LS! Wayne is right, people are always complimenting me on this color, and everytime I see another one I think how cool, that's my car!

Here are a couple, you can see how lighting affects the color.

I most certainly do, only about a 2.5 hour drive from my house.

Beautiful Wayne...
Someone is going to be very fortunate to pickup that car when you trade it in.

I think the Lakeshore slat would look pretty sweet with the stone inetrior and aluminum trim.

That color reminds of my Volvo color, which was called platinum green metallic. Nice color, great in the sun, and pretty unique.

I knew I wanted a G35 (any year) when I first saw the Lakeshore Blue at a parking lot a while back. Now, as I'm asking everyone around me on their opinion of it, they all think it's too girlie. I always like to be different, and LS is definitely different. I just wish someone had a 2007 LS for me see in person! The one I ordered doesn't arrive 'til late Dec, and another dealer already has a hot black 6MT coming in Nov. I hate keeping a black car clean... so much work! ... but no one can deny its sexiness! Com'on, people, convince me to keep my LS!

Nah, I don't want to convince you. When you see your 07 LS, that will be enough convincing. Who cares if other people don't like the color you've chosen......as long as you like it is what matters. You are the one paying for it.

Keep it, you won't be sorry, not a day goes by that I don't have a thought of how great the LS looks, even after driving it over a year, this color rocks!

Thanks for the video and your impressions Trey. It would be very distracting to me to have someone talking so much and having the music on while I want to focus on the car itself.

It was both distracting and frustrating. Several times I would start to mention something, and the sales guy would just talk over me.

At the end, I started to say "I don't like that", referring to the backup camera. As soon as I completed those words, the salesman started justifying the backup camera for finding bikes, dogs, children, etc. What I didn't get to say was, "That's pretty cool, but you have no peripheral vision. One cannot rely on the camera alone." Like I said, frustrating.
