lol i feel ur pain, I'm 17, young and reckless

a month can feel like a year when you have to wait for something

but think about it, if it turns out okay after a month you don't want to jump the gun and risk losing a friendship over it

The second pic looks fine. The first pic is bad because you're asking if we see green and there are tons of shrubbery in the background and in the reflection off the car. Move it to a parking lot in the sun and take pics if you can.

So its now the next day and I finally had a chance to see it in the sun. The difference a bright day makes is significant. Here are some pics. Let me know if you see a difference too.

It hard to tell, but the paint job and color definitely looks great. If you're not really sure, how about just hop in the car drive to a lexus dealership and compare the color to the other cars?

Whatever color it really is, I like it. Just slap some chrome wheels on it, drop it and enjoy.
