Help me decide - post best pics, Magnetic vs Lightning Blue

I've got a 17 on order to replace my 16 (non trans cooler).

Currently on order with Lightning blue no stripes. Looking hard at Magnetic with black stripes, black roof and lightning blue, black stripes, black roof. Particularly interested in pictures that show the black roof well.

Please post your best pictures so I can make a final decision

Thanks in advance for any responses...

I went through this exact decision as well. I really liked both of these options and one of each existed in the area to choose from which helped by seeing the actual color in person. I finally chose Magnetic as I liked the stealthy look and I am not disappointed with the color.

Magnetic is faster and the winner..... because there's no LB at T/A yet.

Proof...

Magnetic FTW

This is my magnetic 2017, it looks amazing , this color has so much depth and shine. Consider ordering it without a stripe and doing a custom aftermarket stripe.

Lightning blue with black roof - this color shifts a bit with changes in the angle of the sun (some of the pictures show hints of both grabber and kona blue). First three pictures show the car in the evening sun, last was taken on an overcast early afternoon day.

I was starting to balk on Magnetic and was going to jump ship for Lighting Blue. Thanks for this! Mine will be here on Tuesday.

Dude, I've been watching your threads elsewhere and I "hate" you... And when I say hate I really mean extremely impressed with your wash bay / garage build. My wife has an F80 M3 on order and I've seen your car over there too. I can't wait to see what you do with your Shelby. :hail: :cheers:

Welcome to M6G

I stumbled upon your YouTube channel a couple of weeks ago......loved the detailing on the M3. I'll love the (forthcoming, I hope!) detailing on the GT350

I recommend you look at both colors in the sun. I still think Avalanche is your best choice.

When I bought my car, I REALLY wanted to like magnetic and in low light is crosses all my "T"s. But in full, direct sun it is too khaki colored for my.

Best of luck either way.

Black roof. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't have paid for this, as it's not that noticeable on magnetic.

I prefer lightning blue.
