looks great ! :biggrin:

 

Thanks for starting this... I posted a few of these several months back in the silver forester thread, but now that we have our own place, I'll repost them where they belong:

And most recently, with 35/20 tint:

 

That tint job looks great! I'm exceedingly jealous...tint is one on the list of stuff I'll be doing to the X just as soon as I'm out of school and working full time again...

Could someone sticky-ize this thread for us? Thanks!

 

That tint job looks great!

+1^ I agree the tint makes a huge difference. Nice car!

 

Tint looks awesome...35/20 is what I wanna do too...eventually Did you submit any pix for the calendar? That first one is pretty nice.

 

35/20 looks great on mine and significantly reduces the temperature in the car after it sits out in the hot southern sun all day.

And yeah, thanks... I keep meaning to submit that first pic for calendar consideration.

 

My new addition

 

Oooohhhhh, shiney...:icon_wink:


Looks good! Enjoy and welcome!


BTW - Can we get this sticky-fied? thanks!

 

What about Crystal Gray Metallic?

Before...

And now...

 

What about Crystal Gray Metallic?

I love the BBS rims, just hate seeing them wrapped in Geolandars. Where are your winter tires?

 

If it's got Gray in the name...it's welcome!

BTW - I'm jealous of the snow...:icon_confused:

 

Here's a few pics of mine since I've added tint. I felt naked driving around without it.

 

Aren't there any more Gray Foresters out there??

 

My '06 Premium...........

 

nice ride M45, i have the same in dark blue. I love the car. it's unique and functional.

 

Thanks Davebee! This vehicle fits all of my needs to a T :woohoo:

Sexy ride, M45, very sexy. Call me biased but the Forester looks best all decked out in a classy gray suit.

 

Oh Yeah! The Wife picked the same color for her '06 Impreza too. The two vehicles look happy next to each other in the garage :biggrin:

 

That "Gray" looks awful to the eyes (the forries look good though), is that the actual spelling or was it an error? :icon_confused: :icon_confused: :icon_confused: :icon_confused:

 

Since I've already posted in the "silver" thread, here are some recent photos of my CGM for "gray."

Tried to PM you but yer full
Where does the light bar come from? I have a new 08 FXT on the way and will need one for the dirt roads in idaho at night that are full of cattle around every bend.

Oh the yellow fog is a paint right? Does it actually shine yellow light yellow lights would?

Cheers!

please PM me.

'Steel Gray Metallic' I got it right off of the window sticker. SOA spells it that way :icon_wink: I like the color...matches my graying hair :biggrin:

OK, question for the gray experts:

Is "Crystal Gray" or "Platinum Silver" darker?

I am finding conflicting info...before buying, I looked at an 04 PS which was lighter, but purchased an 05 CG which was darker than the PS. However, in researching the MY06 colors, it seems CG is the LIGHTER color...(see here: http://www.cars101.com/subaru/forester/forester2006.html#colors)

Also, then at some point they introduced "Urban Gray"...what's up? It seems that on the newer ones the gray is darker.

Personally, I love the darker gray I got. I looked for a few months till I found that color.

 

Maybe it's just my aging eyes, but these different gray colors look pretty much the same. I was going to get the Silver, but liked the Steel Gray better.

Get some pics in here of your new ride!

Was Steel Gray Metallic a one year color for 2006?

 

After researching an '06 brochure I dug up, I realize that link I provided earlier has incorrect info. That and the Subaru website helped me get this straight.

For '04 I'm unsure but I don't think there was a gray shade, only the Platinum Silver. The colors for '05 were Platinum Silver and Crystal Gray, the latter being the darker. I've read where people complained b/c the gray wasn't dark enough. In '06 they changed to Crystal Gray and Steel Gray; the SG was substantially darker than the CG. In '07 they are Crystal Gray and Urban Gray, the latter being the darker again.

So yes the SG was a one-year color, at least in name.

 

I drive one and I'm confused!
So, if I have an MY06, and it's definately dark gray...what is the color called???

 

My MY06 brochure shows the Steel Gray (Metallic) to be quite darker than the Crystal Gray (Metallic).

Sounds like you have the Steel Gray. That color nomenclature was for MY06 only.

I think both Grays are nice.

 

That's what I thought it was...got it, and my sisters OBS is the same color, they look quite the couple after a wash, sitting on the curb together...:icon_wink:

 

It appears the the forum's pic uploader is disabled for now, but I did get a little thumbnail avatar pic in there of my Forester in the forest.

Gray Foresters seem to be in the minority. To each his own! I found scads of gold, silver and black ones, but after looking long and hard I found my gray one. It's my favorite and I'm glad I waited to get the color I wanted.
