Is anyone tinting their windows on Gentian Blue Caymans? I can't find any photos and would like see how GB looks with different tints.

Edit: Never mind. There's plenty of pictures in this thread. I somehow missed them the first few times I went though these.

A friend , who owns a Wraith, drove my Spyder last week and absolutely loved the looks, sound and the drive. When he drove off I was able to truly admire its looks and sound in motion from behind. His Wraith wasn’t too shabby either, in a completely different way.
A few days ago my business partner saw my Spyder and was completely blown away. His words were “it is damn sexy”!
Nobody, aside from Porschephiles, confuse it with a Boxter, and believe it to cost way more.

Looks great. Do you have any pictures from this angle with the top down prior to painting the wheels? If you have a couple you could share, please do.

What color are your wheels? I can’t tell if they are silver or platinum.

Silver.

Platinum are noticeably darker.

These cars are winter warriors. I drive them on days when the weather and the roads are clear. I've had my TTS out when it was 22 below here in the Chicago northern 'burbs. My only concern with the Spyder is whether the manual roof will let in too much chill, but I plan to find out by experiencing it.
I like your style! Unfortunately, the building in the city where I live has a pretty steep garage entrance and the snow removal has to deal with a circular driveway so it leaves lots of piles; my fusion has difficulty sometimes! It's not a realistic option for the few times it might be nice to take out so I'll just wait until the weather gets better!

The wheels are silver; I like the contrast against the car!

Anyone notice a “clatter” sort of noise from the engine bay which increases with revving? I don’t believe it was there the first few hundred miles but seems to have started at around the 500 mile mark. I’m currently at about 800. Still trying to work within the breakin protocol.
