If someone thinks Riviera Blue has green it, I believe they're confusing the color with Miami Blue because MB definitely has green it. I would say that Miami Blue is a Turquoise/Teal color. Oslo Blue is a darker Miami Blue. From RB, and then MB, goes Shark Blue and then Voodoo Blue. I haven't seen Arrow Blue in person so can't comment on the color.
Thanks for the reply

The pic with 4 cars was sent to me and was told the front LHS car was Riviera guessing it is Miami though based on your info and the other is a pic of an arrow 77 Targa very close to Shark just a bit lighter but interesting how it looks like 3 different colours as the back is in full light and the front is in shade looking very much like Shark

The car immediately above it might be Riviera Blue and the one above that might be Mexico Blue or Voodoo Blue.

Yes I think it goes Miami then to the right Mexico behind Miami is Voodoo

If I go Riviera it will be a unicorn in Aust I expect as would Mexico

Wanted to give an update on my personalized license plate saga. When I originally submitted the order, it said 4-6 weeks which is normal. When I printed out my order confirmation, I noticed it changed to 6-8 weeks. I went back to the website and it changed to 3-6 months. Just called CA DMV about my personalized plates. So I ordered them on June 21st and still don't have them. For those of you outside of CA or for those of you that don't know, our plates are stamped by inmates. I guess the prison where the plates are stamped was hit really hard with COVID but the lady said I should hopefully have my plates by March 4th. She said it looks like my plates have been stamped and should be sent to the dmv for registration and stickers and reassignment. I ordered the legacy plates which looks like below and for the record, it isn't personalized with PORSCHE. I just configured it online that way to show all of you the color scheme of the plate. It's called the 1960 Legacy plate. Since the number 1 question I get with my car is always what color it is, I installed the following license plate frames to match the color of the license plates.

I believe those cars are local to me and I have seen them on IG. The GT4 is Miami, the .2 GT3 is Voodoo and the .1 is Riviera.

Very cool wrapping technique. I had never seen that before. Do you mind letting us know what that costs?

I got my ppf done at Glistening Perfection and he offers different levels. I opted for the top level especially on the front bumper because I wanted it done in one whole piece without any seams. It's not cheap. If you're interested, I would suggest contacting Moe at Glistening Perfection directly so he can provide a breakdown of the costs for you.

I placed my order on 6/21/21 and it has finally arrived! I called the DMV on a few occasions to follow up because originally when I placed the order, the system said it would be 4-6 weeks. On the print out, I noticed it said 6-8 weeks. After 8 weeks, I called and was told it would be 3-6 months. After 6 months, I called again and was told the plates have been stamped and I should get them any day now. Early January, I callled the DMV again and I was given more details to confirm that they stamped the plates in December and then sent them to the DMV for vehicle assignment. Once that is done, they’ll send it out and currently, I should expect to have them on or before 3/4/22. The day has finally arrived!

I’ve literally check the mail everyday hoping for a surprise. I know it’s such a small thing for probably a good portion of you folks but I don’t plan to mod my car and for me this was the last finishing touch to personalize my car.

Let me take a picture and I'll PM you. Not really inclined to share on the world wide web.

Thanks for sharing the part number, I'd love to pick one of these up. Just wondering where you ordered it from? I asked my dealer parts department to look up the number and they said it is discontinued.

I ordered it from my local dealer. I had to do some research to find them and confirm availability but long story short, my exclusive advisor that I was working with when I ordered my car with PTS and CXX options was able to get in contact with someone to figure out how to order them.

When I went to my local dealer to order them, I was told they weren't available to order so I went back to my Exclusive Advisor and he checked with his guy and comes to find out that it's not orderable on the "regular" dealer parts system. He had to go into some other system. I don't know what it's called but maybe your parts manager might know. Once he figured that out, I was able to order it. There are also other items available too such as a women's purse, a men's wallet with battery, a few different women's day bag and such. It is possible that it's discontinued at this point as I ordered it a while ago but if your parts guy tried to order it through the regular system, maybe go back and ask the parts manager to check if there is another parts system he can place the order through. I remember, the parts guy saying that it's coming from some warehouse in ATL.

Here's a picture of the women's wallet I ordered for my wife too.

Thanks, called my dealer and ordered it! They said the same thing, in stock at the ATL warehouse.
