It's a hard color to photograph... here is my Mini in that combo.
yeppers bro, i guess w/ the color combo (great minds think alike hehe), those that never see the black lava in person dont realize the color changes in different light, thanks to the different metal flakes in the paint...at times it looks very dark red metallic, other times, it's black cherry/violet metallic or brick red metallic........I remembered this picture but couldnt find it to link in an earlier post, but I did use a link to htdsnjup's picture (post #17 page 2) showing his GLV-2 with black stardust/black lava reversed, next to his all sparkle grannysmith dormant colored super mini

one thing though....I"m still trying to get my hands on one of those danged dripshields, everytime i check Empire's webpage, they're out of em

and i'm on the list to be notified when they are restocked too lol...(they look so bad@$$ with em on the GLV's)
