Correct me if I am wrong but I think that is Slate Grey Metallic? $3000 option. I think it trumps Seal Ghey... IMHO Both are great colors though

Nice color! Aerokit makes the MY00 so much more aggressive. Congrats!

Kevin - Nice ride! Welcome to THE Forum. I am not a big fan of painted wheels... actually, I really don't like them at all, but I think yours look good! I like them because the whole wheel is not painted. The polished rims set off the wheel from the tire. What mods have been done to her? What suspension has been installed?

It is slate grey metallic. I have had it for several years now and must say that I have NEVER loved driving any car like this one!!!

The most significant mods are the Porsche sport suspension, sport exhaust, Aero Kit, Kinesis wheels and EVO V-Flow...Other less significant mods are the clear corners, Rennline pedals, alum shifter, smoked third brake light (not shown in pictures, since just updated), tinting and a door plug (also not shown in the pictures).

Performance wise, it is great with no complaints. I am considering some additional interior mods, but we'll see what I get too.

Regarding this Forum, it is amazing the technical knowledge that exists!!! I found the forum researching the EVO V-Flow a month and now am addicted!!! Glad to be part of THEForum!

I really like this example of the 996. Classy with some flair. I lilke the no wing look.

Couple questions for you... What tint is that on each of the windows? Is the front and side factory Aero? What aero part is on the rear? You said you have smoked lenses correct, where?

Bowman -

Thanks for the comments on my P-Car! The tint is 20% on the sides (front and back) and Limo (I believe 5%) on the rear window. The Aero Kit, including the back, is the GT3 Aero Kit from 2000, if I recall correctly.

Kevin,

Nice ride, that thing looks pure evil....I would hate to be a little old lady staring at her rear view mirror and have that thing pull up behind me.

I've commented on colors of cars recently in my posts. But if I were to get a 996, it would be that color. Aero treatment is nice. Wheels are perfect. That's one of the nicest I've seen.
