    Going back a while remembering that custom paint.

    It seems around the time they were painting his car, they did an Elise too:

    Yeah, I had seen that, but thought it was worth posting an update since I stumbled on a different picture of that Elise which showed more of it.
    It wasn't something I went looking for, just happened upon while bouncing around on flickr.

    The stripes and CF hood make the front look like a giant 120V plug IMO. And no I don't think that's a good thing :wink:

    I asked Frantz about coping my color (he has admired it at a few LA Events). He said the new Model S brown was closer to my copper than the special edition Roadsters.

    whew.

    Personally I don't like it, but to each his/her own.

    Don't mistake me -- I detest it, but I detest it less than all the other metallic lavender cars I've ever seen.

    I don't think I've ever seen another car that color; maybe there's not many about.....I wonder why that could be?
