I had a choice of a silver or the desert mist metallic, I chose the desert mist metallic because there are very few running around........Unlike those rare black and silver colors......lol, Truthfully they are all sweet cars which ever color you go with!!!! The desert mist metallic grew on me and love it even more.

 

I think 90% of the old farts go for gold, tan or beige cars. I am in the 10% that don't & will avoid getting behind one at a traffic light if possiable.

 

I actually picked DMM because all I ever saw on the road were NBP and WDP. I'm not sure I even knew that the DMM color existed. I've been a car guy for a long time and I can spot potential in just about anything. Not trying to ruffle everybody's feathers, but who wants to see the same car in the same 2 or 3 colors? Desper's car looked great (although I'm not sold on the Ron Jon product line) and is very inspirational. I went saw Ian MacKaye (Fugazi, Minor Threat) speak and he said "New ideas do not have an audience." So sad but so true.

 

Despers car is SICK, and DMM looks hot with A-SPEC kit-

 

^^i love it. its "different" ..looks silver sometimes. shines at night..
--what products did depser use..the car looks so fresh n clean..

 

^^def not the best pic..but a little night shot..

 

Two colors i would never get a TL in is ABP and this fugly gold

 

Mine's a DMM and I chose it. I could have had SSM. Handsom-Hustla's pics show one of the best points of DMM--near sundown or under artificial light DMM looks like it's lit from inside. It glows.

DMM probably shows dirt less than any other color, a good thing for those of us who aren't obsessive about washing and waxing, or who, like me, live at the end of a half mile gravel road.

As others have noted, DMM doesn't immediately catch the eye like other colors. Nor does it catch cops' eyes.

Finally, and this is subtle, I live in the midwest. We don't paint our houses in bright, clear colors (except white), not because we don't like bright colors, but because in the muted midwestern sunlight those colors look odd. If I lived in southern California or south Florida I would definitely want RRP, but here the varieties of silver, carbon bronze, and yes, DMM, look better, IMO. WDP and NBP just don't "pop" the way they do under southern sunshine.

 

Damn that's nice

 

So i also have the dmm, and i just messed up my front bumper, should i get an 07 bumper wit fogs and then get the front aspec lip and does anyone have a pic of Desper;s TL,, i wanna c how it looked like

 

Gold and green are by far my least favorite TL colors

 

Not my first or fourth choice, but if the the better car/deal between two cars happened to be DMM over another color, it wouldn't be a hang-up for me. I would roll in DMM.

 

If you are never planning to wash the car, gold is great. Never looks dirty even when it is. BUT, the Gold color looks crappy on ANY car if you ask me. It's for old farts!!!

 

dmm looks amazing. It became one of my fav colours on 3rd Gen TL. So much class if done right.

 

If done right yes it looks great but that applies to any color. IMO desper's wheels doesn't flow well with it.

 

heres my progress on my dmm. definitely need a drop and a lip. but i just the ride early this year, it was soooo stock - its not even funny. hope this helps

 

Yeah I am feeling that and yeah needs aspec.


You should start a progressive thread in the photo section (if you haven't already). You don't see that many DMM and I would like to see how yours turns out.

 

Ohh thanks for that, I'm still such a noob on acurazine lol.. but getting the hang of it. Ill do that - ill start a progressive thread in pics section...
