My 13 R-spec

I've been posting for a few weeks and realized I haven't even posted any photos of my Geni.
So without any further ado.....

Nice !!!! What you got on it ?

 

[T_D_Diggs]

Thanks. I'm assuming you mean rims. They are 19" Advanti Lupos, With the stock contis on them.

Nice

Those wheels look absolutely fantastic. I am curious though, which color type black your Genesis has. Is that the 'Black Noir Pearl' or the 'Caspian Black'?

I have a 2014 that has the latter and I believe it was the only black color available for the first generation's last year. Was the Genesis also available in 'Caspian Black' for 2013?

I was under the impression it was called Phantom black. It's a high gloss with a subtle metal flake in it.

The Caspian Black has multi-colored metallic particles/flakes in it. So, in direct sunlight, these reflect back colors such as reds, greens, blues, yellows. I guess this was not available in 2013, not sure though.

So just looked it up and it's paint code AF meaning black noir pearl.

So while I was dealing with my whole leather problem I ordered some paint touch up pens. My car is listed at the dealership as Phantom Black. But paint code is An which a google search calls black noir pearl. So I am wondering if they just have a different name between Canada and the US

That caught me off guard. I have coffee on my shirt now. Haha

Mine is a 2013 in Caspian Black (YB6 is paint code) as it must be the first 2013 to get this color.
The early 13 MY came with Black Pearl or AF.
The paint code YB6 is very different with AF as my dealership's part specialist warned me.
