I couldn't take any good pictures because there were cars on both sides of it... but here are a few.
There was a Silver Moon ILX near the Slate Silver TLX. In comparison the slate silver is kinda like a light gray versus a true silver imo. It's a bit darker as expected. And, if you get close up in certain lighting (like the side shot and the back where there was a bit of shade) it looks almost bluish gray... but then in other lighting (like the front picture where the sun was shining directly on the car) it's more dark silver/light gray. I actually like the color a lot. It looks very unique in person imo

I noticed in the front end picture the two small holes for a front plate bracket. Do you happen to live in a state that requires front plates? I do...but was just out of curiosity wondering if they come automatically that way or if the dealer did it.

^^ Yep we require front plates... Not sure if it came delivered that way or not but the car had been delivered only a few hours prior to me getting there.

Who knows how long a Denver area dealer will have this color...

Picked up my i4 Tech tonight
Just picked up my SSM/Graystone i4 Tech tonight. It was pretty overcast today in the DC area today and the paint does appear to have a slightly blueish tint to it. Even without a lot of direct sunlight, it's pretty obvious that this color really accentuates the rear quarter character lines.
It'll be interesting to see it in the sun.
Also, the i4's wheels don't look so hideous w/ SSM. Besides, I think the biggest issue is with how tall the sidewalls are (higher profile tires than on my 2G TSX).

SSM on this car is awesome. Red is pretty good too, but not offered as we all know.

My dealer told me they had 2 SSM/Ebony V6 Techs scheduled for production end of August, for delivery in early September. Today he told me production was delayed until mid-September, for early October delivery. I checked the online inventory of some other Acura dealers in my area, and no one has any SSMs yet. Does anyone else have one on order, and if so what's your ETA?
