2013 Non-PP SHO

IHeartGroceries

Tuxedo is an excellent black. I love it to death.

...for the 2 hours it's clean.

I think TB is the classiest looking color on the SHO. But this will be my first and last black car, simply due to the impossibility of keeping it looking good.

I also love the flowers on a black one... but that color can be changed!

I'd have to say I'm more than happy with the Deep Impact Blue.  I still have some trouble with keeping it clean, but it really stands out in the parking lot vs all the monochrome colors you see.

Sweet looking SHO there!   I love the multistep paints for the same reason.

I just had to make the same choice myself and went with tuxedo black.  The dealer had blue, grey, and black in stock and the blue was just a little too bright for me.  A deeper blue with a touch of metallic would have been perfect.  I vowed to never get another black car about 3 cars ago but the tuxedo black looks the best on the SHO IMO especially with the PP wheels. 

Had to order no matter what though since no one seems to have a PP in stock anywhere near Colorado.  Hopefully I don't regret my decision next winter...

Hey guy, just want to thank you all for the great information.  I talked to my dealer today and they are going to try and find a blue sho with all my options.
They said they already knew where a black sho was with all my options.  :smiley-faces-75:
Thanks again Ben
