They can make that turn on our Paragon windshields in one piece via heat shaping it on the outside first. (Tint has changed a lot since my day, obviously)...
    Is that yours on Buxton’s FB page?

      It isn't, but has a similar scheme. My main stripe is Admiral Blue Metalflake. I think mine will arrive in Lewisville Friday or Saturday of this week.

        Tell me this isn’t the best one you’ve seen yet. Also looks like they’re offering window tint from the factory

          I thought I liked it at first, but it sort of turns me off the more I look at it. The black and gray don't seem to match the medallion gold flake to me. I can't quite put it into words, but 3 colors just don't go well with the medallion IMHO.

            I suspect that I'm about to:
            • Show my age
            • Show my conservative nature
            • Possibly get flamed for sharing my opinion on many of the color combinations I have seen over ~ the last 5 years
            Please remember, this is only my opinion-and whatever makes another individual happy with his or her choice(s) is all that matters in this life.

            I'm 53-and when I was young, and moreso when I entered the business world-buying suits, business clothing, etc.-there was a pronounced rule... Dont mix browns and greys. You dont wear a grey suit with brown shoes. When a house was decorated, it tended to follow one path or the other. It may have had greys and possibly blacks OR browns, earth tones, etc, but NOT BOTH.

            Now we have millenials... They wear browns and greys together, boat interiors are coming with them together, dogs and cats living together, just chaos.

            ****, I'm old... (Again, this was both jest and opinion; please take it easy on me...)

              I too am not a fan of the Wizard boat and I, also being in the 50 and over crowd, was raised to not mix the browns and grays. I will admit though that there are few boats I have seen the last few years that can pull it off. Not many but occasionally there is one. Case in point is greggmck new gray haze boat which he posted in the thread titled "obligatory color question 2020 g23". I think that one works and works well

                Don't mix browns with greys? A boat is not a suit. Many boats have teak decks and platforms. Teak is brown. So should boats with teak not come in grey? I grew up in boats, a brown floor reminds me of teak flooring. Grey...not so much.

                Disclaimer: I do like the darker grey flooring of the Paragon.

                  Crap I broke the rules. I guess I never had to wear a suit though.

                        I think it’s great that women and men can both pee In the lake now!

                            You are getting more feisty now that you have a P23 on the way! Did you order black, grey, and brown?

                              Given the previous sentence, I can only ascertain that if a boat looks "sick" that this is a good thing? I've never referred to another individual as "dude", nor a boat as "sick"...

                                I agree. I could maybe get used to calling some THING, "sick".

                                My buddies and I talked about it one time. We generally agreed that people that address others as, "Hombre, Dude, Buddy, Bro, Pal, or Amigo" in our experience usually (although not always) presuming a friendship that does NOT exist, and does not help create a friendship. It is usually a lazy and insensitive type that does this. If I can't remember a name I am usually embarrassed and try to avoid pronouns altogether.
