Dark Blue Metallic GXP?

Post by DRWBRTq19 »

I recently saw this was an option color according to a brochure I saw online.
Has anyone actualy seen one in person, or even pictures?

I tried googling it to no avail.

Yes, but there weren't many. They were about as rare as the Steel Blue Metallic, like my 03 SSEi was. I think SBM may have only been an 04 color on the GXP, not sure.

Yes. This color, with tan interior was excellent.

There was a dark blue one for sale at a dealer in the Chicago area sometime within the last couple of years.
Awesome color, ...

Couple of Bing photos I found;

Your top link is actually a forum member here, although I forget his SN. I saw the car in person at the 2013 Michigan Meet.

I picked up this 05 GXP last August. I had no idea it was a rare color. It looks amazing in a snowy background, sadly we haven't had snow in months so I can't get a picture. Hopefully we can match the color when it's repainted this summer.

My dad had an 05 with gray interior with that color. If I remember he did the carbon fiber interior peices, American raceing 18 inch rims and added a gxp emblem to the trunk lid. Wonder what happened to that....

GXP's come with carbon fiber looking interior trim pieces from the factory.

RIGHT! that was the grand prix GXP he did that to. He's had so many *dang* cars he's nodded in some way I forget which is which sometimes. Doesn't help I'm sick and at urgent care at this moment so brain probably isn't functioning to the fullest

Cruncher, please post more pics!
It looks a litte different then what's shown in the brochure.
But then again there's almost nothing that pops up when you google that color.
In fact, I had a pic of my car pop up, and it's most deffinately not Dark Blue Metallic...

Here you go :)

Planning to repaint it this summer, same color it just has minor scratches on a lot of the panels so we figured it'd be best just to do the whole car. You can tell it definitely needs a power polish at least. It's hard to capture the color with my phone, just by looking at these pictures as I'm standing next to my car it looks different. It seems to be a color you need to see in person to really appreciate. She's in pretty decent shape, bought it last year with 55,000 miles on it, up to 70,000 now. AC compressor is gone but other than the standard problems (northstar leaks) nothing is wrong with it.

I don't know who the previous owner is but for whatever reason there's no sunroof or heads up display and I was under the impression that came standard with the car?
