I have a Basalt Black 997

I have been considering installing a role cage and having it painted either Mexico or Riviera Blue.

the typical red,black or yellow is too played out.

I also intend to have the center console painted to match

anyone else done a wild color?

LexVan

Maybe paint your calipers to match????

Maybe Adriatic Blue seen here:

nice - i am just worried about making the car look cheap.

i would only do an interesting color if i have 6 pistons up front. planning on doing a brake upgrade once my rotors are worn.. they almost are.

that said i was thinking the typical speed yellow for calipers and using either brembo gt or porsche calipers with factory paint. i cant see the aftermarket paint holding up.

i have a white/blk colanago, i run bright pink cf wheels.
they all laugh until i stick on their rear wheels.

go for it.
like red, blue is played out too.

good luck on painting. My Sc has been on the paint shop for over 7 weeks with little work actually done except to trash the inside. It seems that with most shops insurance work has priority and other jobs are time fillers. I wish I had not embarked on this and I'm not doing a color change just repairing some minor rust in a 33 year old car

you probably need to see both colors next to each other, they are VERY similar, Riviera is a little lighter+yellow/Mexico darker+blue/red

either is cool but I would think twice about painting the console to match ... I'm not really sure trim works unless it matches the exterior

I've seen both colors together. They are VERY hard to tell apart. I know if I saw each separately, I could not say which was which. Allan

i am with you on matching the exterior color with interior element... my car is metallic black so not much fun with the interior.

for me, i just want something that is unique but not so far out there that it looks cheap.

i believe paint the cage and console it will have some nice symmetry and create consistent theme

i like that you are not color shy! i only recently became a fan of the riviera and wild gt3rs colors such as the green and orange.

they are rare and stand out well

I like Mexico Blue but then I am biased

Here's a picture of Mexico blue , riviera blue and turquoise blue , you decide pictures are on the above order .

Here are a couple of pix of my '11 GT3RS which is Riviera Blue with Orange trim. The calipers were painted Riviera Blue at the factory. Personally, I really like the blue calipers but then it just looks right with the blue exterior and orange wheels. You decide.

STUNNING & PERFECT!

p.s
Dont EVER sell this car! (unless its too me)

p.p.s
You know that Alex @ Sharkwerks has your twin?

Northstar Motorsports

Yes, I know Alex has the twin to my car. We have talked about trying to get them together for a photo-op. To our knowledge, these are the only 2 in the US and we believe there are 2 in Europe. Total of 4. Pretty limited production.
