Not the color I wanted but pulling the trigger tomorrow
Going tomorrow to sign the paperwork for a 2012 RTS SE5
I wanted the Magnesium, but no new ones to be found. The dealership got two new ones, Blue and a Mag in from the west coast and I snagged one...
I was a bit too slow to get the magnesium, but I got the Blue. I am sure it will grow on me...for the price compared to the 2013 with the black wheels...
I just thought the blue was a bit flashy compared to the mag.
What do you guys think?

on the Spyder. I know what you mean about the color, as I would have rather had the blue. Yet the deal on the Viper Red was too good to turn down. Now I do like the Red, but don't want to change my name to Red Star.
Is it Friday yet? ... Oh yeah, I forgot. I'm retired

I started out want 2012 RT limited lava bronze and the more i looked I was paying $1300 for the paint cause I won't be using the gps or hard bags and the dealer had red, blue and the MAG and I'm in LOVE with the mag easy to keep clean ( the bronze woulda got dirty going home from the wash} blue woulda been me second.

Blue RT
Blue is not all that bad of a color... Thinking color wise, a blue is more visible than the Magnesium / Black one thinking safety on the road.
I got lucky when I found my Regifted 2011 RS~S. The second choice for me was a orange (which looks more gold)
I think it will grow on you in a short time.
Enjoy the rydyng

Blue? One man once wrote how he felt about the color blue being put to canvas, and another set out to prove him wrong.
And, did.
Blue, is what YOU make it.

If you would have asked me two months ago if I would ever own a yellow Spyder I would have told you no way. It has grown on me as I'm sure the blue will grow on you.

I started out wanting the Blue and did not want to go without the GPS, hard bags, ended up with the Lava Bronze. Now I love the color, and all the extra's. Just funny how once you have what ever color you ended up with, it is now yours, and you love it.

I like both colors but, the blue is more visible on the road. Of the two, I would have taken the blue if only for that reason. As it turned out, I paid the extra money just to get the white RT Limited. To me it is the most visible of the 2012 colors. Visibility is everything when you are on the road.

I knew Bob was going to comment, and that there would be others who would show their blue 's.
That being said, a lot of times color is relative. You will find that the color you purchase, even if it was not your first choice, will grow on you. I did luck out with my recent car purchase and got exactly my color of preference (this time).
My first was the half moon silver (a little lighter than the current magnesium). You had to pay a premium price for that color--so that is what they were making available early on. Other choices were yellow or red. I told my dealer I would take whatever came in first. We both ended up with silver. He painted his black with custom flames, and I left mine silver.
Last summer when I purchased the new 2011, I was hoping for the blue, but the dealer only had the magnesium. We are very happy with that one now also.
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.
Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)
MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles
IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

If you are going to add fender lights which are yellow and red, they will look better against the blue.

Paper work done...
I will post some photos when we get it tuesday or so in a new thread.
After we were committed and looking at it, the blue has a different feel already. I think the GT stripes are definatley in the cards, to make it my own baby...
Just got some ST3 helmets for now and ordered a SM10 system as they were making a good price with the purchase.
What kind of helmets do you all prefer?
The ST3s make my head really hot in a hurry.
