okay maybe the pink on a 924/944 wouldnt look great, but it would look good on a 993 targa, and thats a fact.

I saw a pink 996 last year at a meet.
I'll see if I can find a pic of it.

Pink would be better than yellow.

mmm...some good votes here...to burma, i'm removing all of the old paint down to bare metal, repriming, and painting from scratch (trying to do it right (er) this time)

i considered orange for a long time, but i couldn't find enough pictures of orange 944's...it had the possibility to look absolutely menacing and sweet, but i decided to go with a more sleeper look, especially because of the rumble and the hood scoop. i don't want to attract to much attention (at least of the wrong kind..........)

does that narrow it down?

oh...by the way, if you want to drive out here if you get the question right, i will give you a cookie....

i have seen a factory pink metallic 944 and it looked pretty good lol

the guy said it was good for track days because you would never lose it in photos etc

Are you going to keep the N/A front end or go with a turbo?

Black... and keeping the NA nose.

I envision a sleeper...

"Meh, just a black car. What's that, oh, it's a 944. Nice car, but no power. Not a turbo, you can tell by the nose. I'll show you how slow it is, let's mess with him..."

Isn't the shoebox hood modification going to ruin the sleeper vibe?

winner winner winner!!!

the shoebox on the hood is a semi permanent solution...i.e. i can't really take the box off of the hood, but i would eventually like to revert to a stock hood (that will take some creativity in making an intake, but i put a v8 in a 944 so i think i can handle it)

you really nailed on the head man!
