Just wondering if anyone had a real picture of what the new Gecko Green looks like? I haven't seen one yet. Just wondering. Thanks!

I parked next to one today at the dealer

My cyber green looks mega hot next to the bland gecko green.

Should I go snap some pics tomorrow?

yes, please do! i am still wondering about the comparison. paintscratch.com doesn't list two different codes for the colors cyber green vs. gecko green. i'd love to see them side by side.

There's no apostrophe before an 's' when you're talking about the plural version of a word. "I took some neat photo's!" is NOT correct.

Ok, they lock up a lot of the dubs on non-business days in their little impound lot (especially if they're less that a week old).

They're closed tomorrow (Sunday), but I will make a point of driving by and getting a pic or two.

A guy walking by commented on how nice and bright mine was.

The irony is.. my car is faded.

Got some pics today.

It looks like a brighter colour in the pictures, it's really quite dull.

It wasn't parked in a good spot to park next to, but I'll try to get some in the next few days.

Also, just as a side-note, picture #3 'catured' the colour better than any of the others.

Here's some that I took yesterday. I think these really capture the color cause the flash on my camera didn't go off, and it was kind of cloudy and rainy.

I like it too...it's not too flashy. I would love to see it side by side with a cyber green though.

Thanks for the pics guys!

The pics look "minty", and I like minty. I look forward to seeing this color.

Not really minty.

It's more like a silver paint with a green tint.

It's.. boring..
