Nimbus Gray or Silver?
Okay, so I've narrowed it down to these two colors. I was dead set on Nimbus Gray, but I think a lot of the mods looks cleaner and nicer on Silver RLs.
Sometimes I see the Nimbus gray and it looks like a green or blue color. And silver is a dime a dozen. What are the pros and cons of each color? Please post pics too!

Re: Nimbus Gray or Silver?
We love our BLUE we bought in 2005, but agree that if Nimbus or the Cherry Red had been available that year the decision would have been much tougher. Between your two colors, I tip my hat to the Nimbus.
I agree that sometimes it has a green look, but consider that a mood change. It looks great.

Re: Nimbus Gray or Silver?
I have silver and prefer the color; looks sportier, classier, and stays cleaner longer. The darker color gray is also nice, but if you want a light colored auto go for silver, but either way they are both nice. In short, silver is just nicer!

Re: Nimbus Gray or Silver?
After sleeping on it, I think I'm going to go with the Nimbus Gray RTL (no nav).
I'm sort of going back and forth with the local dealer we know and have had nothing but great experiences with. I'll post their offer in the perpetual price thread later today hopefully.

Long ago... I learned Silver of white stays cleanest longer. Not to mention a slightly better resale value. Silver and White are the two most popular colors.. for a reason.

Re: Nimbus Gray or Silver?
Winkster! Love the RL! I know I'm choosing the right color for me. Haven't heard back from the dealer yet today. I'm hoping my shunning of their original offer didn't cause sour grapes. I haggled a bit for the first offer, but does anyone ever really take the first offer?
