I actually wonder how SGM Coupes would look if the roof was painted carbon flash starting with the A pillars, then roof and then the engine/trunk lid. Kind of create that two tone look HTCs have.

I'd pay good money to have that option on the coupe - looks stunning on the HTC

I might talk to my local wrap guy and see if he can pull something like that off. He also has render software that can give you a preview so hoping to see how that would look or the best way to get it done.

Thanks for posting these pictures and confirming my decision to order SGM.
I have not been a fan of gray cars in the past but this color on this car has captured my imagination.
Subdued, black, sophisticated, gray, playful, blue, business, metallic
A true chameleon like my wife

It’s a great color in the direct light. Shadows of blue, green, multiple shades of grey to black, kind of a chameleon like effect. Love it with the Morello Red interior.

I know nearly all exterior accents (Boomerangs, grilles and if you opt for it the side mirrors/spoiler) are Carbon Flash, but is the rear window surround on the coupe Carbon Flash as well?

Finally got to take a nice cruise yesterday with some abnormal Dec weather and realized how hard this baby is going to be to keep clean. Up to 185 miles I think. Now it is time for the 1st hand wash. These cars get ALOT of looks. I think the general population isn't sure what they even are.
