OR, maybe I'll just have my 2013 painted pink and give it to the granddaughters as a starter car -

with the newer coatings, i don't think they 'age' like other calipers. mine are still quite shiny. though i haven't put quite as many miles as you have on one

Actually, at certain angles the car DOES LOOK blue! Kinda strange.

My sister is a parts/service manager for a Nissan dealer in NC. She is having to be open every day because they are considered essential but they have zero customers because no one is coming in. she is not happy and has been blowing up my phone all day.

The dealer did tell her if she or employees get sick from being at work they would pay them, so she has that going for her (not sure how you prove that).

Mine had a nice patina on them but of course they didn't stand out against the silver and black of the FRS stock wheels even when brand new. Against the bronze the bright aluminium is all just

Ya with the sun at the right level and from a certain angle it can be a very blue teal like colour. The possible variations so far have been startling. Still hasn't reached the number of shades the Lava did but there are still several lighting situations I have not seen yet.
