Pic of Graphite Gray - LotusTalk

fireball111 · 06-27-2007, 01:20 PM

Does anyone have pics of their graphite gray exige, with or without mods. I was set on trying to find a black/lazer blue/artic silver N/A exige but this color is wearing on me. Any pics?

Look in the Gallery.

I'll have an Exige S in GG on Friday I'm delivering to a client. I'll snap some pix for ya. It's definitely one of my favorite colors on the car.

This one's not my car, but made me buy GG

Hijack! Please tell me where you got these wipers and what size they are! (Nice wheels by the way.)

Tire Rack, it's a Valeo 26". They sent me a free 16".... Since they don't list one for the Elise, I bought the one for the '01 Celica. Works like a charm, no chatter, no missed spots.

Here is mine. Not an Exige though

vortrex · 06-27-2007, 03:24 PM

there is a GG exige S for sale in the classifieds with pics, see the HRM inventory post.

jriva · 06-27-2007, 03:37 PM

What year is that abechen? Color looks darker than mine, I've got an 05.

Mine..

Vishus_1 · 06-27-2007, 08:27 PM

I would love to see a Storm Titanium Exige S next to a Graphite Grey for comparison.

I have seen instances when Storm Titanium has looked like Graphite Grey (because it was cloudy, overcast or shadowed) but I have never seen Graphite Grey look like Storm Titanium.

I think it is interesting that Lotus charges more for the Graphite Grey when it looks like a simpler mix of color and metallic. Even some painters in body shops seem to agree that they would rather match graphite and storm. I would have thought the pricing would reflect that - but I suspect it is more a marketing decision than an actual cost/expense decision.

I have a STi Elise. I saw a GG Exige S at Beverly Hills Lotus the other day and it was killer. Buy it....you won't be sorry.

Actually there's no comparison between the too colors. The Graphite Grey has all the subtlety and color shifting of the other Lifestyle colors. It's a very, very nice color.

The storm titanium is nice, but it's a much more traditional color.

The blue painters tape is an option, part of the sports pack.

AgentTripleX · 06-30-2007, 11:24 AM

Here are some pictures of the one I delivered yesterday. That's Storm Titanium next to it so you can see the difference.

Vishus_1 · 07-01-2007, 09:13 AM

Thank you for the side by side. I like both colors.
