I have a Space Grey BMW too & it looks very similar to Skyscraper. From what little I can tell.

That was my alternate choice, too haha I would've done it but someone local received their cat in that combo a month before I ordered mine so I wanted to go with something different. No regrets.

From your bonnet pics, skyscraper looks a touch darker. Interesting to hear you reckon it’s a touch more dynamic.

Contemplating swapping my back 826Ms for a set of Apex VS5-RSs in either Black or Anthracite. I'm concerned that Anthracite finish might clash with the Skyscraper Gray paint. Does anyone have this setup and care to share a photo?

It certainly looks darker, but in reality it’s not by much. In fact when I was deleting the reflectors with the IND paint matched reflectors - they appeared to be darker until they were installed. Really a great color and very happy with it.

To my surprise today the status changed to Dispatched from Factory. Took 19 days to assemble, paint, quality checks, and ready to leave the plant.

Congrats! I just started production (150) today. Things moving right along. Lucked out calling my local dealer 2 weeks ago that happened to have an open allocation.

After a small hiatus, I am back. Got lucky and landed a deal while it was sitting at port. Anyways, just picked up yesterday.

Nice, what tint % is that? I keep trying to figure out if I want to go 20 or 35, because those are the STEK options.

Thanks! It's 35% Xpel ceramic on the sides and back, and 50% on the windshield. I've always done 20% but I'm not liking the really dark look anymore. This is as dark as the 35% will look...it looks lighter in direct sunlight.
