Thanks! Yeah I am pretty glad that front plates are not required in FL.

Damn you.....Did you have to email the guy on ebay to make sure he could do the color? He still has not responded back to me.

I love that we don't have front plates here in KY either. Each time I buy a car out of state, I always have to make sure they have not drilled into the front bumper!

Nice pics wednsday! Like the HDR's!

Not really, in Japan and some other countries have different paint names.

For example, my Glacier Frost Mica is called Bluish Pearl Crystal Shine in where I live.

Oh, I was just saying, not literally. Sometimes it does add a bit of confusion such that the names should be the same across the board.

I didn't know GFM had a different name.

Maybe the Japanese link I gave above could help you find a comparable color for GFM perhaps. I was looking at it earlier, and it may appear that one does look sort of similar to it.

I also just noticed even thou the GFM color is dropped. If manage to look at the color URL and start scrolling with the next/back, you can see GFM there even thou it is no longer in the chart.

I am hoping with the 3IS they bring GFM back or at least something similar like opaline pearl. I also hope they don't only offer the cool colors on their hybrids (if the IS gets a hybrid version) like they have done with some of the other Lexus vehicles. I guess they will never learn with these gold and brown colors, they usually only last a year and I am guessing it is because they don't sell well.

I also hope they read these forums and see that people are upset about them axing some popular colors.

Someone with this color should get a rear gfx lip with it curious to see how that will look with this color!
