Congrats......

I picked the same color after 5 black fords over the last 15 years. My wife was shocked when she saw me drive up in something other then black.Maybe I can go a week without washing it now
I wish I could of got the big tank option like yours though. Nothing beats a 60 dollar fill up (and I thought my 30 gallon Expedition tank was outragous back in 1998)

DSG is a great color

I agree with your paint selection.
I have a new DSG FX4. Been driving it for the past three weeks
in the PA salt. It doesn't show the dirt until you get real close to it



I also had a long history of black vehicles, but am now glad
for a lower maintenance color.

Who said "once you had black, you never go back?

Big615, it might be awhile until i get some pics posted here. You should do a search for Kdtruckie and view his gallery. He has the same tire size but in a BFGoodrich KO tire.

msg for blg615

blg615, my bedmat is Ford OEM, can be purchased at the
dealer from the assesories book. Tell the parts guy it is in the
new diamond plate series. $50 and it's yours.
I like the looks of it, real nice.

Happy Holidays to all.

Dark Shadow Grey

I just bought a DSG 2004 Lightning. I love the color too. It has a deep, rich look that some of the other colors don't.
