I have laser lights on my M3. I am thinking of getting an xdrive but it doesnt have laser lights and cant decide whether that is a deal breaker for me.

Other car is Brooklyn grey over full tartufo and everything I want sans laser which again referenced above.

Correct. I just wanted to see if someone had a picture of their Dravit Grau Badge, that says "Individual" on the badge. If it is, it should say it, on the badge. My car gets to the port, Wednesday, or I would just go look, myself.

Im not sure where its at on the G8X, but on previous cars, Ive seen them on the drivers side shock tower, under the hood.

I get back from Chicago Thursday, if no one else has answered by then I’ll give it another look.

Awesome, thanks!

darrelljs · 10-06-2021, 05:32 PM

Man I looked everywhere under the hood, removed anything reasonably accessible, and could not find it.

chicagofan00 · 10-06-2021, 05:57 PM

As far as I know, only true individual colors will get that tag on them. The ones designated as individual but offered as a part of the standard ordering guide won't get it.

Well, you tried, anyway. There should be a regular paint badge, somewhere. I know in my C7 it was under the damn trunk carpet.

Im trying to be Individual, though,

And come on, I paid $1,950, give me a stinking badge!

darrelljs · 10-07-2021, 09:32 AM

This has become an obsession, I've concluded (for peace of mind reasons) there is no actual badge showing the color. I easily found the badge with the VIN, weights, etc. but the only thing near it was on the safety systems and tires.

Is this color hard to keep clean and does it show every scratch & imperfections in the paint like black? Anything negative about this color?

My M8 was Brands Hatch, which was very similar, it always looked clean (didn't have any scratches though).

darrelljs · 10-07-2021, 10:03 AM

Fingerprints are pissing me off.

It looks cool! How did they get "Dravit Grey" matted? Stealth PPF?
Do you have any more pic of those? thanks!

Xpel Stealth was used. There are more pictures in post #320 and #336 in this thread.

Limegrntaln · 10-07-2021, 06:13 PM

The matte look is definitely cool. Ill see how the Dravit looks when I actually have to live with it. If its a pain, I may opt to get it full stealth wrapped.

BIGW0RM · 10-07-2021, 06:29 PM

I suspect Dravit will be similar to black sapphire metallic to maintain.

This looks awesome. Will admit confirms I personally wouldn't do it (was on the fence about it). Looks too much like frozen dark grey and not the beauty that is dravit.

Some pics of my car that I took earlier today…

Looks awesome. Kudos on the manual choice. Which wheels are those? Bi-color or orbit grey?
