Caspian Blue is such an interesting color. It varies so much depending on the lighting. I would almost expect it to be a designo color. ENJOY!!!!

Great looking pics. I feel inspired to take some new ones myself... if it wasn't so hot.

Great photos. Oh by the way, nice car. I agree with the third photo being the best. Looks like it should be in a MB add.
