6K, they called it Diamond white. Which i think after warming up for 10 to 20 min might go down to clear white. I'll be okay if there is a slight tint of blue, most exotics do have a tint of blue.

good cuz i'm a little nervous of how its gonna look like. i also got the DRL 6K but they're on back order right now. so hopefully they'll match nicely. I hear replacing those bulbs are a pain in the a$$? i might wait to get em all and do it all at once. i need to replace the air filter this week (last time i swapped it, there was a HUGE difference. took a pic cuz it was that bad. i'll try to find it and post it). and the dealership in Bloomington was out of the touchup paint for my G. Gotta wait till end of this week. i wanna touch up my grill and fenders.

Tevi, how easy is it to mess up a touch up job? any tips? I'm going to be using the same stuff you picked up from the dealership

I messed up some the first time I used it. What I learned:

Clean the area well
Sand it down so it s smooth
Clean again
Use the brush applicator rather than the ball point
