Default Looking for Panther Black pictures

I live in Okinawa for the time being and there are no Audi dealerships to be found. I was hoping someone who lives close by to one in the states could snap a few pics of the Panther Black paint? Hopefully under sunlight so I can get a better idea of what it looks like.

I'll be placing an order for an S3 in the next few weeks and any help is appreciated!

Saw a Panther Black model at the dealership recently. Not an S3 however. Do not remember the car model. I personally did not like it that much as it has a purple shimmer to it depending on how the light hits it. I looked at Brilliant Black cars and Mythos Black as well. Decided on the Mythos Black. Mythos has a slight silver metal flake effect. Very slight and the black is very deep. Love it. My car is the only S3 I've seen in any color by the way.

The purple tint is exactly what I want to see...I'm not a huge fan of crystal paints but if looks right I may be interested. However, the Sepang Blue has really caught my eye now!

Thanks for the link D-Nice. I'm not sure about the paint...in the sunlight the crystal look throws it off for me. Not so much the color but the flakes. I need to see it in person to make a decision...
