What a great looking color, thank you. Now you need to get her dirty!

If I can ask, what is the narrow strip forward of the Signature Graphic on the R side of the vehicle? Don't think I've seen that before.

I am a HUGE fan of Silicon Silver. It is a slightly 'warm' grey (I wouldn't call it champagne, though) vs Eiger which is a 'cool' grey. I have placed my 90 order and, although I may change it, decided to go with Tasman. The Silicon made we want to add black package and suddenly the car was now $2000 more than the Tasman. My overall build (P300 90) is fairly conservative, so $2000 makes a difference.

That said, I love Silicon Silver and have month or so before I have to lock in colors!

It adds up in a hurry, don't it?

Thanks! She is headed for the beach in a few weeks. Will get her plenty dirty!

Where exactly? Other than the "V8" badge, this looks exactly like my '21 X-Dynamic HSE I just traded in

In the showroom photo showing R side of truck; it almost looks the body color of the Signature Graphic has been carried forward in a thin strip down onto the window trim..... could be an optical illusion, or maybe a decal of some sort that hasn't been removed yet? Just a curiosity.

Now that I look again there is a similar appearance on the L side of the Eiger Grey truck above; maybe it's the way the light hits the window trim at certain angles?

I took these on Wed and the vehicle was washed on Friday. No rain or Dewey mornings. To be fair she’s in dirt almost every day. I’ll take a picture Friday for comparison

I don't think it's objectionable; I know there's some dust but it still looks beautiful.

oh that's just an illusion. Looks exactly the same in person. OI think its the reflection or the image resizing
