Black is certainly one of the best colours for this car right now with it blending in with the blackened rocker panel area.

Looks great! This might be the color combo I'd have, but I really like the Oyster interior with BSM too.

That oyster is a great interior color, just can't trust myself to keep it clean

Great looking car! On the online build and price tool the BSM doesn't look so great, but in person it really suits the car.

We need more pics in here of this combo to hold me over while I wait. seems like this is turning out to be an uncommon setup based on the scarcity of pictures online, which I'd be fine with. Looks like most people opted for Thundernight or Brooklyn Grey.

Agreed it's a pretty rare spec from what I have seen. This is what I ordered, BSM w shadowline and Tacora red interior. I am going to be wrapping it as well and I cannot wait to reveal the color because I think it'll make the car POP!

That will be an awesome looking combination. I think with all the lines and edges, black is the at to go with this model. You just need a little light to show the curves

That'll look awesome! I went BSM with black interior (now wishing I went with red) and with the carbon fiber interior trim!

So wanted to drop this update… I had the whole car PPF with a mix of STEK matte and clear. I think the matte black looks absolutely sinister now. Highly recommend till they offer it in frozen black direct from the factory.

What % tint do you have? I'm having my BSM PPF'd and tinted next week and can't decide on the %. In GA where the law says light transmission restriction can't be less than 32% +/- 3%. So 29%.

I did 20% on my BSM, I like it but it definitely is dark. I have taken to keeping my sun roof open to attract less police attention.

I’m also in GA just picked up a 23 M240. I had 10% on my previous car but i think I’m going to go back to 20% just because I had to much of a hard time seeing. In all my years I’ve never had an issue with police and tint and I’ve never had anything above 20% besides my windshield at 50%

I went with 35 the front and 20% in the back. With no plate on the front I didn't wanna ouch my luck. And it still looks plenty dark for my taste.
