I have liquid aluminum and i love it! My car is light silver one in the pic that drvolkl posted. The only downside of LA is when you are trying to paint body parts. I believe the paint process is longer and more costly. I ran into that when i had my front end and fender repainted. Took a few extra days for them to get it done RIGHT! I will see if i can post some pics of my LA soon!

I've posted this pic before; it shows all three silvers together.
Liquid aluminum really shows best at night, picking up colors from the surrounding light. You can see a few more pics on my site.

Genji, you're not far from me. I'd love to see your car in person sometimes...but I fear that I'll immediately hate my car after that. LA looks like the best color to me.

I would get the Liquid Aluminum or not get any of the silvers at all. I think the chrome silver and silverstones are just OK, and they make up about 95% of the Zs I seen on the road, but the liquid aluminum really shines. I think if you don't go with the LA, get PPW or go with DB.

I think the liquid aluminum looks like a piece of aluminum in the right light...the chrome silver is a nice shade of...well, silver.

The silverstone is more grey, which is cool too.

I like how the LA catches light...and in the right light, it looks really sweet. I also like things that are more rare....I wish they'd dump the LS already!

I don't know about the silver -- but man ... that Yellow in the background looks tight!!
