I really need to see Shark Blue in person. Hopefully my nearby P dealer has one. It looks great on most pictures but meh on a few here and there, particularly on 992. The freeze date on my SRS is June so I need to make up my mind soon.

Shark blue is great, one of the best. Keeps getting better every time I look at it. Just don't look at it on any other car (ie, VW, Audi). It looks best on a sports car. Here's a pic of mine:

(LOL)

As echoed by others, SB looks even better in person. For whatever reason, it ends washed out in photos. Much brighter in person. Pops in person.

Shark blue looks so good in person, everytime I go on a drive with my SB friend I admire it a ton.

My six-year-old (four at the time) picked the Shark Blue color. She then named the car "Skittle". If I have the green, then we could have skittles. I thought you were selling the T. Did you end up keeping it?

The car is gone, but I kept the pictures. lol.

This is what the garage looks like today (although I'm also looking hard for a Boxster S manual 981 if you know of any)

This is surprisingly good. I went with the deviated stitching in blue but that orange is amazing.
