I hear that black clear coat is being replaced by metallic crystal clearcoat in 2008. I believe this is the color

What do you guys think? I kinda like the pure black better.

07 Black Clear Coat is the best color!

I saw a black brilliant up next to a black clear coat and to tell you the truth up close you can see the pearl but further away than 1foot it looks like a " dull black " although i'm sure it'll be easier for hiding swirl marks and such but it doesnt have the aggressive color of the straight black clear coat. - but thats my opinion just seeing them side by side.

Bingo - that's exactly what I thought as well. Damn them for changing the color...

Im not really a fan of the 2008 black but I must not break family tradition.

I saw one by my place and I think the guy lives in these bigazz townhomes. The guy was a crazy Azian. I think it looks great! Go for it!

NeonSRT4 - I believe u are around the chicago area and you drive that souped up yellow SRT4. Didn't I teach u a few lessons about how u can't replace displacement with my viper? If I recall, it was about 30 car lengths. LOL

wkjeeps.com says they changed blacks in January.
I ordered a Black Clearcoat on 2-17-07.
Should I expect to receive the tacky sparkle black? sure hope not.
I can't imagine them changing in the middle of the 07 model year.

cajunlab - for your sake, I hope they do not. I doubt that they would change it before the 2008 model runs. After seeing the new color on other vehicles, there is NO way I am ordering this color. And I absolutely love the black on SRT8 but I will have to resort to silver :(

You should have gone for RED Rock - The old black is beautiful (Only when clean) which means you have to clean it every day. The new black is hazy:(

You cannot have a black car in Erie,PA unless you hitch a car wash to the back. So I picked RED Rock - It looks great and only has to be cleaned every other day:D
