Thunder Grey is the one color I want the most. Then the Infared then black then silver. But seeing as how 99.99999% of ctsvs were all made in black... I think I can live with the knightrider theme.

I have thunder gray and yes, it's pretty rare color and glad I just so happened across it

Even though I don't like black wheels (unless there is some 'polished' contrast, like on a 3-piece) and especially the all blacked out look, that one looks nice in its own way. Not my style, but did come together nice!

I do want to paint my chrome trim around the grill (but leave the stainless), but looking for a "black chrome" type of paint, or wonder how a tint would look?

I saw some black chrome 2 stage paint @ Central Paint...I think it was a PPG product...looked GREAT on the pics...Not sure how hard it would be to lay down. Tint might not be a bad option and if it doesn't work out you can just take it back off...Just a few bucks and it won't harm your grill...If you do try it be sure to take pics.

Tell your boy Gerry I WISH I WISH I WISH....The grass is always greener. I got platinum/black...I've seen A LOT of black ones that I was all over. I wasn't really a huge fan of the thunder grey until I saw this one....I LOVE the stance and the wheels.
