I think you are right, but I like how this DGM looks that much darker.

Wow, there is minimal to no Orange Peel on this car...

Maybe they ironed out the painting process at Gunma by the time that car went through the line?

Damnit that radio/GPS unit looks so nice, I'd feel pretty bad about ripping it out. I hope an RA spec comes to the US someday, so I can do my own smartphone dock.

In mediocre paint jobs, it's a waviness to the paint that makes reflections look out of focus. The waviness looks like it has the texture of an actual orange peel.

And no, I couldn't really find any on the car, but the car was pretty dirty.

Great pictures, thanks! I can't believe they left the car so dirty.

I tried to take pictures of things I hadn't seen pictures of before - the vanity mirror, glove box, dome light, etc. I hope you like them! They guys at the dealership thought I was a bit nutty.

When I first got there (within a 1/2 hour of it arriving at the dealer), all of the transportation protection was still on the car- the white vinyl, the plastic seat covers, everything. They really didn't have time to do much with it. They peeled the vinyl off while I was there.

Oh, I'll throw this out there too: They fired the car up while I was there. I got a video of the exhaust sound. I'll put it in the appropriate thread, too.
