Default For those (including myself) wondering about the color of my car

My car is very dark in person and a couple of people with stealth gray metallic have asked if its the real color because their cars seem to be a LOT lighter. I found a bottle of touch up paint in the glove box today that was from the factory and it was the same dark color and was "Stealth Gray Metallic". A friend and I also went over the whole car looking for signs of it being painted and found nothing.

So does anyone know why my car sooooo much darker than the other stealth gray cars here?

I figured it was the lighting or the lens. Then again, like most V owners without the coolest and fastest color (which of course is Black Raven Kickarse Speedway), you are doing all you can to join the Dark Side. A good comparison for your car's color is to find another Stealth Gray. Just be thankful you did not go with that G(r)hey color, as those owners are always uptight and bitching about something.

Although the pictures make it look really dark your car is normal stealth gray in person.

lol thanks for confirming. In the day light it still looks dark to me, but last night it looked more like stealth gray like you said.
