Wow that first pic is fantastic and really changes my negative opinion about the front bumper.

Everyone talks of the whether they like the many shades of LBB in the day, but it definitely has some badass shades of blue in the dark

Ah, think of it as positive discrimination.

M2s sporting AW, BSM and MG are awesome by nature in different lighting conditions. We'll see those later up close.

LBB, however, tends to struggle a little in different lighting conditions to show its true color, so it can use a little push. And some dedicated indoor lighting at car shows helps.

LBB once again proves to look its best when you can barely see it.

Or when it's wrapped in either AW, BSM or MG.

LBB looks great in low light. I am only going to drive mine at night and on overcast days. No problem here in the NW.

Well, if I'm going to get a wrap it would be an awesome color unavailable from the factory... LSB (or maybe that el primero mexico blue) or Porsche's lava orange come to mind

El primero mexico blue...now you're talkin'. That color looks so good and with that individual interior it sets it off x100.
