I think it looks a lot different. I like the blue denim. It's darker, and there is nothing purplish about it. But to each his own.

Yup, Denim Red or Denim Orange (burnt) would look great.

Numb: Black Ice is purplish. But even though it is denim it still changes color like a pearl. Gotta agree it doesn't fit the bones. Posted it for info purposes only.
My mistake, I had it confused with the Blue Denim. From what I see in the pics I still don't think I care for it.

I really like the Denim Black, but um, everyone has it, so I was thinking of making a change over the winter. A Denim Burnt Orange was what I was thinkin'. Along with a total blackout of the engine.

I like it...But I agree with the previous posters who have said it could use a black exhaust sytems....definitely would look much better that way.

A deep red with black and gold pin stripe would look killer.
