Color looks amazing in those photos. Glad I went shark blue. As a fellow GTS purchaser (Cayman) I appreciate you uploading these as I had trouble finding a lot of shark blue GTS photos.

….just want to make sure that you saw the movie below the photos - it’s not quite as obvious.

Yes although I'm not sure if I should be downloading unverified files off a forum :-) Color looks great in the video as well!

In addition to the shot I added in the Side Shot Saturday thread, here's a couple more from my first attempt at a photo shoot late this morning. I attended a PCA Cars and Coffee earlier this morning and was rather shocked on how much attention the GT4 in Shark Blue drew given all of the other great cars and much bigger fish in the pond there.

I’m adding my weekend beach shots here. Shark Blue looks darker and more intense in the garage and at twilight, and lightens up midday. I am very pleased with this choice.

She's a beauty Dan!

The little doubts I had on this color choice have vanished. I think your photos caught its daytime look about as well as a camera can, but somehow it still looks even better in person.

Enjoy!

Thanks kindly. Yes, indeed, it looks great in person although the perspective is skewed without a person in the photo. The car is low and wide, and again, glad I kept SPASM. I keep going out to the garage and lifting the cover to take a look. I haven’t liked a car this much in some time. The extended blue stitching gives a nice feel in the interior, too.

Driving it top down is incredible food for my soul. I can’t wait until I can really open it up.

Fresh Xpel, Clearplex, ceramic coating, blacked out windshield trim and Sport Cup graphics!

I love the Shark Blue but to be honest, it is a bit bold/bright. I felt like it needed some black to balance it out a bit. Couldn’t be happier with the end results. Next touch is a set of BBS FI-Rs to complete the look!

Is that stock ride height? The entire car and mods look fantastic!

Have you decided on a wheel finish? Just about anything will look great with your spec.
