Silver spruce = very classy. The fit and finish on this truck is extremely tight and clean. I am just ecstatic as it is just an instrument. Functional and beautiful. Plus the no-carpet option is going to be so much easier to keep clean.

Slight green tint but depending on the lighting (or lack thereof) it can look almost teal to a silvery green (very lightly tinted) in bright sunlight. I love it. Very classy looking IMHO.

Magnetic and white were the other colors I would gladly have ordered. I would be totally happy with any of these three colors. I was originally going to order a white truck.

Congrats, Very Nice Color Choice. Of course, I'm somewhat biased owing a Silver Spruce (SS) as well.
Recently had full X-Pel™ Clearbra and Ceramic Pro™ Gold (8 coats) done which made the SS really pop! Still amidst the 2-week "curing phase" so the truck won't get washed and detailed until next Wends, when I'll truly see what the affect of these are.

I shoot Nikon and the body is a D800, lens used was a Nikkor 24-70 mm f2.8. Always shoot raw and manual mode (usually) which is why I had neglected to dial in the white balance as I was in a hurry but fortunately shooting raw files allows much latitude in post processing to manipulate. Hate to admit poor technique but there it is... Always try to get it right out of camera, sometimes not so much.
I will get some more images with my 200mm f2 lens (The Beast) as that lens REALLY let's me blow out the backgrounds and can yield some mind-blowing images.

Nice truck! Glad you are happy with the 4.30 gears. I love mine too. It is definitely hard to keep it at the speed you want as it likes to just go with very little pedal. Cruise is my friend otherwise I would have tickets I believe.

Product: Ceramic Pro Gold; 4-layers of 9H, 1-top coat layer of Light/Finish coat, plus all glass, wheels and calipers coated.
Prep and application on all painted surfaces, wheels & calipers; 8-days (they take their time to get it right).
Curing period: 3-weeks
Inspection & Follow-up; 2-weeks post application
Maintenance: Mitt wash and hand dry, that's it.
Warranty: Lifetime (available only with Gold Package); includes annual inspections and touch-ups & add. top coat if needed.
Performed by: Mario (owner) and his team of dedicated professionals at Zenith Auto Works, North-Houston, TX
Overall extremely satisfied especially after witnessing how it now sheds rain water and overnight condensation along with knowing I'll never have to wax it - I'm convinced it was money well spent.
