Changing mind on color combo

yami sukehiro · 06-26-2022, 09:11 AM

Am I insane for wanting to switch to SPY/YMB or something over IOMG/KO. I've been wanting the latter for a long time and I've seen it in person, it's very beautiful, but lately it seems a little too mundane for this type of car. SPY/YMB looks very nice to me on some videos + it is unique and eye catching. Thoughts? I have a long way to go until I even get a prod # so just in the initial stages right now.

Like many of us, you will likely change your ideas on color a few times while you wait for a prod. number. But, only you can decide what you want. Personally, I am not a fan of SPY.

astroricardo · 06-26-2022, 10:26 AM

They will both go down as the colors people think of for these models, but I would go with SPY/YMB over IOMG.

vj123 · 06-26-2022, 10:38 AM

I would pick IOMG and KO among the listed options. IOMG is a classy color and KO brightens up the interior.

T0RM3NT · 06-26-2022, 10:43 AM

I'm more or less locked in on Silverstone interior, but still a bit on the fence with either Skyscraper Grey or Adventurin Red. I'm trying to think what I want now and will I be happy 5-10 years from now with this decision.

You can say that again!

I went from Brooklyn grey, to Skyscraper grey, back to Brooklyn, then briefly did a crazy Ivan to Toronto red, back to Skyscraper, to Brooklyn again....then finalized my build going with Skyscraper....

I went from Aventurin to Tanzanite to Skyscraper to Black Sapphire, then ended up with Aventurin.

MMM.PWR · 06-26-2022, 10:58 AM

I went from Tanzanite to Portimao Blue to Skyscraper.. ended with IOMG! Can't go wrong with any of them.

FoxberryJam · 06-26-2022, 11:02 AM

I am at Brooklyn Grey right now, but very seriously contemplating a change to Toronto Red tomorrow morning...

I had a red car once....once....

The phrase "Ticket me red" and others like it finally scared me away from Toronto....that and people thinking when they see it that it must be a midlife crisis car....

I was in the same situation, only made the switch from BG/KO to SPY/YMB.

SPY is truly polarizing, you either hate it or love it. If you do love it, then switch. Don't have regrets when you take delivery, it's a $100k car and only you can decide what you want.

It looks really good to me tbh. Will make the switch

I don't think you'll regret it! It's a great combo

BA///MA · 06-27-2022, 11:52 AM

IOMG will get you a ton of looks, and from my experience, it's universally loved by everyone who sees it. It's a phenomenal color that gets a ton of attention and praise.

voyagergab · 06-27-2022, 12:39 PM

SPY is a great looking colour and it’s free.
I have not seen one in person yet though.

Online pictures don't do it justice

nal13 · 06-27-2022, 02:54 PM

Saw and SPY in the parking lot at lunch today with the Yas interior. Looks amazing in the flesh. Made me think for a second (but just a second) I made a mistake with IOMG/SS that's sitting Bremerhaven.

T0RM3NT · 06-27-2022, 04:18 PM

I know I can't be the only that finds Vic55's (Adventurin Red) AR absolutely stunning? I thought I didn't like AR up until I saw photos of his car. Gorgeous!

I'm actually back and forth between the AR like Vic's or TR......
I lust after the TR but the head says the AR is the safer bet

T0RM3NT · 06-28-2022, 12:53 PM

Ok, might have this on my indecisive list now too.

cubanbimmer3 · 06-28-2022, 03:26 PM

I went from frozen dark grey, to Aventurin, to alpine white, back to Aventurin, back to FDG, have also considered TB2.. and I still don't have an f'ing allocation after 8 months, so none of it really matters 😂

My vote would be for IOMG over SPY out of those two though.

yami sukehiro · 06-28-2022, 04:16 PM

By chance I saw a spy m3cx yesterday. Yeah … I'm going with spy
