Thanks to all for the kind words.... and AL -- I got a good belly laugh out of that man! Too funny!
Just for arguments ---- RODGER likes the brown on the LEXUS.... I love the LAVA GREY on my wifes R8... Per this picture. They also have a grey brown color per the post by SKIP showing on an R8.
Here's my problem.... a car has to kick you in the nuts... and really can't be what "somebody else wants". And brown just isn't a color that does it for me. I'm kind of going of the looks and feel of - to pick one car - a CLS 63 AMG - a car that just turns heads - everyone knows it's powerful - but won't "win" any contests particularly - but you know it kicks ass... and they're not "orange" or bright blue.... they're BLACK - or metallic grey -- or silver (that's out)... SO when I picture the car done -- it has to say '62 updated big baller road hog kool like a big ass Mercedes. Does that make any sense?
Here's the wifes LAVA GREY R8 -- which is a color that really makes the body lines shadow and highlight. But we're not done yet or settled on the final color for exterior or interior...

I'm thinking my initial post was misunderstood. I like both colors for the car, brown and gray. I think the brown was a more traditional color for the car when it was taking on that direction in the beginning. Now I fully agree with the Lava Gray we have discussed, it represents a more "Badass" vibe that we are looking for on this car. I think it fits the direction we now have the car going in. I posted a pic of the Lexus for the vibe it gives off and feeling Greg and I had both felt about the car in the beginning. That Brown Lexus is the baddest Lexus I have ever seen and that was the vibe I was looking for on this bubbletop. Plus that Lexus is the car that inspired me to do a high end S63 Bubbletop kinda car. I have never seen this Lava Grey in person, As far as I know Bakersfield does not even have an Audi dealership. Then when Skip posted the picture of the brown Audi R8 I was kinda confused as I did not know if that was a different color then what I had only seen on my phone up to this point.
So Game on with the Lava Gray. Now we need to find the interior colors and the black to dark gray to titanium inside trim and wheel center color.
