bignnasty - thats becaues I dont have the right spacers on it at the moment. I will get it sorted before next driving season to where they come right out to the fenders.

Antonio- dont post that picture - my centercap isnt facing the valve stem!!
(Thanks for the nice words. Got some clear lenses I see??)

Well,

I got my black 944S because of its basic good condition. I would have preferred red actually. As I went throught great lengths to re-paint my car, one may wonder why it's still black... Well, I just wanted to keep it original I guess.

Black does look good as well though, its just that it is more demanding to keep.

Nope, I love my non-Guards Red red.

Now, I wish my Mazda was another color...

Sam-

Ahh I see...I was going to say, did look kind of weird. The car is still stunning and pleases my senses!

P.S...Didn't even notice the center cap/valve stem orientation, haha

Having a Guards Red one, I'd trade it for say, a Cobolt Blue one? Arrest me red just draw too much attention, I think.

I agree. I got a speeding ticket the same day I bought my guards red 944S. 63 in a 55 on the interstate. My opinion was, I got the ticket because of the color.

I love my Red & Midnight Blue metallic cars, but I also really like Black, Metallic Black, Silver/Grey, BeerBurner's Red, and Duke's Rainforest Green Metallic.

I'd never buy a White, Yellow, Gold, or Burgundy car tho. hate those colours.

I would buy a Pearl White car, but I would never drive it... it would always have to be clean.

I use to want a white car, but seeing as how the 944's have quite a bit of black around the windows, it turned me down. I prefer black. It hides all the lines very secretly, and is stealthly at night!

I like my Guards Red, but you see it on many 944s. I've seen some in white, which are ok. Black looks good, but it's maintenance intensive. To look good, it needs to be clean and shiny at all times.

I really like the Azure Blue S2 that someone has on the board. If I had to change, it'd be to that. After that, I might look at a dark green.
