I agree! I keep staring at mine. It’s a lot bluer in person than in pictures.
Just perfect!

I love your car. Great choices on all the options and that Bluestone color is just amazing. Appreciate you for posting the pics.

Absolutely gorgeous! All of your waiting finally paid off.

I saw my first Bluestone Metallic in person the other day and it truly is a color that you have to see in person to really appreciate.

Enjoy her in good health!

Everytime I go out in the morning have a big grin on my face. It just gets better and better. At first I wasn't sure about getting Bluestone over cognac but glad I did. She goes in for tint this weekend.

Congratulations!!

Bluestone over cognac was the reason I ended up custom ordering. For months I could not find any that were CPO (my original plan). I decided to go new, and they were very limited and the ones I found did not have the right options. So a custom order turned out to be the best route. My build just started yesterday!

Know what you mean. That's how I wound up with this build which is my first. Could not find any bluestone/cognac with the options I wanted anywhere in the US. So thanks to this forum and the fest reached out to the right people and started my custom order. Couldn't be happier. It's a great car. Enjoy the process!!!

Wanted a Bluestone/Cognac combination but as some of the upgrades were not available with cognac, ended up with black napa.

My car is on the ship to Baltimore right now.

Here's a quick pic right before getting tinted. Picked up last Saturday and has been crappy weather ever since. Hopefully can get some decent pics once the tint is done and weather is better.

Tint is the first thing I do right away. Car always feels incomplete to me without them. I took delievery Thursday night and made a appointment first thing in the morning on Friday.

That grin is going to get wider once it's done lol!

Here is a before and after pic of mine

Nice! Looks like 15%? Still a stunning color.

Wow! Good eyes your right on the money, it's 15% all around.

I'll be doing the windshield with 50% some time next week. The place I went to was charging way to much.

Your bluestone color is going to pop so much more once your tints are done

After tint. Looks much better IMO. Originally was going to do 30% all around but it looked too light for back windshield so went with 15% in back 30 on sides 70 front. Pics didn't come out the best, weather has been funky.

would like to see that front windshield when you get it done. Commend you, I'd be blind as a bat if I went that dark. 15 in back was pushing it for me.

Totally understandable! 15% is pretty dark, I got used to it over the years as my last 5 cars all had the same percentage.

I should be getting my windshield tinted sometime this week and will definitely post some pics.

Your car is looking great with the tints

Finally got the windshield done with 50% tint.

I ended up wrapping the roof gloss black also.

From afar can't even tell it's wrapped. Bet up close it gives it a nice contrast though. Looks good.
