i was super close to ordering mine in YMB bit there were none i could see in person. 6 months later i saw one at my dealer and thanked god i did not order it. i was expecting something bright and vibrant but its really dull. maybe i was expecting to be wowed like i was for Leguna Seca blue or Long beach blue but the yas Marina just does not have that "pop". granted its unique and i can see it would get attention. just not for me. i did see an M4 in Leguna Seca blue and it looked a lot better to me.

Takes about 3 months to order ANY standard color M3/M4.

A little bit of both. It does change quite a bit in different lighting conditions, but also any type of "instagram" filter will totally change the appearance. Even simple contrast/lighting adjustments can have a huge impact on the appearance of the color in photos.

Here's what I mean, I took this photo last Friday with my iPhone. The car is parked in the shade on a mostly sunny afternoon.

Unadjusted:


"Magic Wand" level adjusted:


Apple "Chrome" filter:


And for good measure, here's the same car in direct sunlight, unedited, taken with a Nikon D60 DLSR with an F/1.8 lens.

Any more pictures of your car's Ti tips? I'm going in tomorrow, and still haven't decided on the brushed tips or the matte black tips.

Brushed all the way man! That way, if you ever go with a diffuser, there's contrast.

Besides. M3/4 drivers have no friends, so we should show off that we had a quad tips

That's my car. Can't wait. I went with 18s too...

[Wills2]

I was worried, but I'm stoked about YMB now! People have said I hope you're getting it in that amazing blue?!


Oh yes.....

[snareman]

What about these? I'm admittedly pretty exhaust ignorant at this point, but the CF looks cool.

Car twins! The 18's are the best and look even better once you see them in person. I've had many people tell me they love the look of the meaty sidewall over the 19's that everyone seems to order. I put 15/12mm spacers on yesterday and it looks really aggressive now. I'll try and take some updated pictures next time I wash it.

Lol, haven't decided or is it a surprise

[mephiska]

Out of all the colors on this car after a rain, I think YMB looks the best. It's just sexy with the way that water beads up.



I took this pic today, unadjusted, just cropped. Pic taken with my iPhone 6S. Mods in this pic:
IND gloss black grill & side trim
IND painted reflectors
Macht Schnell 15mm/12mm spacers

I've had the car 5 months now and haven't had time to do a full sealant/wax on it yet. I've gotten by with just maintenance washes and Griott's spray wax every time I wash it. Still beads up pretty well.
