...with a Riviera Blue 993. All opinions regarding the cars' colors are acceptable, but please don't make fun of my hair!...I had to grease it down real quick after skiing to meet my friends with their 993 and snap a few photos of the cars together before it got dark!

Nice cars, nice colour!!
What's the front lip treatment you have going on the 997?

lthatch

Thanks. It's a Cargraphic. Clean, simple and solid...I like it, but it'll require maintainence.

Very pretty, if I had to choose between the two.......well, I couldn't.

Is it really Mexico Blue? (What's the color code for that,--on the fuel filler flap...)

It looks almost like another 3AS Blue Turquoise in that lighting.

lthatch

Oh darn, it says "Handicap Blau". Just kidding! I'll look later, but it really is factory Mexico Blue paint-to-sample.

Congrats - did you just get the car?
Looks great and love the 993 also.

lthatch

Just got it. Haven't even had time to register it.

cole328

man...that car should be deleted from the order list...hideous (no offense meant), as it is clearly personal preference

GR997S

Great color. I kinda wish I had gotten a special order color like that ....GR

Fantastic looking color. So, do you only have to indicate mexico blue on your order? In other words, does
Porsche already have that color ready "to mix" and paint?

lthatch

Yes. If you read Edgy1's excellent article in this month's Panorama, he goes into great detail on the process of ordering a paint-to-sample. In short, it facilitates things greatly to order an existing Porsche color that is "approved".

Congrats. Beautiful car!! Love them both actually. I wont make fun of the hair but I do notice the T shirt is color coordinated tho - Wifey dress you??

Looks great! As does the 993. Both of mine are in white, but I think that next time I'll go for a colour like that.

lthatch

The t shirt was a happy coincidence thanks to KBLU, our local rave-type music station. Went to a Parliament/Funkadelic show right after and, well, black is kinda slimming and appropriate for that type of event.
