What color is this??

[Austin]

Since the lighting is slightly dark, I cant really tell what color this is. Is it '00 Steel Grey or '02 Graphite Grey?

2002 Graphite Metallic, that's what I say.

Thanks Daffy!


What ever color it is though, it looks really good with those rims. I havent cared to much for these rims in the past but, they fit that color very well.

I second that motion!

I am going to respectfully disagree with all of the previous votes for Graphite...The GTS pictured is a 2000 model and is Steel Grey...The following is how I came to this conclusion:

1. The lighting in that pic blows, and so the finish looks darker than it is...

2. Steel Grey has a "blueish" tint in it, where as there is absolutely none in the Graphite...There is no mistaking Graphite...

3. Graphite is a 2002 color only, and 2002's came with a more "rounded" rear view mirror...the only GenII that came with that style of rear view, the rear view in the picture posted above is identical to the one in my RT...which is a 2000...This was the obvious kicker for me...

OH, YOU'RE GOOD!! One question though... How can tell about the rear view mirror? From this pic you can barely see in the car.

Dunno what kind of monitor you have, but I can see the outer shape of the rear view just fine...


EXHIBIT A: a 2002 Graphite RT beside a 1999 RT (in good light)...check out the rear views...the 02's are the only ones that have the "rounded" rear views...and a 2000 Steel Gray on the far left...

EXHIBIT B: the same 2000 Steel Grey from the previous pic, in poor lighting...(poorer than the GTS in question, but you get the idea)

 

[Austin]

Ok, now I see what your talking about. I never noticed that before. Your good at noticing details! Thanks for the help Snake! Hey Snake, is your RT lowered?



Austin

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

Holy smokes Gerald!!! You rule bro. I will never argue with you about Viper years.

 

[Snake Bitten]

Hey Snake, is your RT lowered?



Austin

Yep...Eibachs on all four corners...

 

[Shelby3]

Good eye Gerald. The car in the picture is Steel Grey and was totalled a month ago. I bought the wheels from the car off Ebay.
