    Steel gray is such a solid color on Coupes. One of my faves, behind LSB of course.

    I vaguely recall him buying his Steel Grey from a TV star in California for an exceptional price and having it shipped over to HI. Am I correct?

    I think Coupes look great in all of the colors that were offered for it, but yes those are a few of my favorites on the Coupe including Alpine White.

    Hmm, maybe you are right. I do recall that as well. I don't recall seeing another steel gray Coupe from HI other than Island's.

    Looks like he bought it locally.

    Edit I: Looks like it did come from CA though.
    I thought there was 6, only 1 being an S54 (also Steel Gray), but this one is a recent arrival and carries CA tags
    Edit II: This just get's better, and better. Awesome!
    I also found out the previous owner is Matthew Fox, the star of ABC's Hawaii set show, LOST. So I guess this is a celebrity car.

    Thats not me, thats a recent arrival. Currently there are 3 S54 MCoupes here and we are all Steel Gray. The third one not shown in this thread was the one I went to go look at for member Sky123.

    A photo shoot would be cool, but I have never met this coupe owner and I assume the third one has passed on to a new owner. Some more modded coupe are popping up here...a white S52 is running around on coilovers and there is a nice Z3 3.0 coupe on suspension and 19"s.

    I have seen better scenery at that beach btw...
