That's what people said about Leman and brickyard when it first came out, but I'm sure it'll grow on ya. Looks like some people are coming around on the hood bump also.

I don't like it. It looks like more of a yellow-orange. LMS = better!

Yea, Leman looks better probably because it has more metallic. This looks more like regular orange.

Haha, maybe the plate "ZORANGE" for new orange owners. At least it will be easier to touch up stone chips than LMS.

Hope it doesnt look too bad. I just changed my 07 GT order to Solar Orange with Burnt Orange seats! I wish I could have seen the color in person before ordering, really liked the LS... I am sure it will be nice.

Check out some more pics, believe the orange has a triple pearl coat:

Wow orange car with orange seat...I would be all oranged out . Na your link made the color look better, I guess it's one of those things we have to see in person. However, I still do not like brickyard. I think it was the bastard child of the Z color lineup.

I believe that pic was taken at AEM, apparently they are designing dual CAI's. I know another site was asked to remove the pic by AEM.

I like it. It seems bright and like a real orange, not an orange-brown.
