Hi everyone, I've been spending countless hours on this site x many months, plus all over the internet and back researching pricing, all that stuff.
Took Delivery yesterday in Seattle of A 08 Blue Slate(yea another one) x, with graphite interior, premium/nav/ and wood. I REALLY also liked the 08 desert platinum, looks silver until you get a real silver one next to it. Its a warm silver, wish I could get both of them ;0)
This car is blowing me away! The brakes are outstanding, really impressive!
Course I don't need them as much because of the handling, whearas before I would brake,this thing can just drive threw the turns. Road noise? just enough, I was worried it might bother me, but its perfect, not too quiet not too loud. Visiblity is awesome, no bad blind spots, way better than just about everything out there. A smooth ride, easy smooth take offs if you want! I worried about that also as i have a coffee going all the time.
Just need to stop smiling long enough to detail it, and get a tint and clear bra done.
I don't say Wow much when it comes to cars(4-runners for 15 years) but this is definately a WOW. i could not find a better looking car on the road this year, So I pulled the trigger and got it. Looks, Power, Handling, its the whole package.

Congrats on your new purchase! Any plans on tinting, paint protection, etc?

 

Could you tell me your colour code? I have the same colour, but up here in Canada it's called Blue Onyx. I want to order some splash guards and want to make sure the colour code is universal...Im sure it is, but I want to be positive.

Thanks!

 

On the Sticker(which I have) MDL K52-G it does not specifically say thats the color code, but I'm pretty sure thats it, especially if you have the same number.
