Default Orange GTS

I was curious to know what the purists thought about the custom orange GTS with pascha graphics on the Registry.

I think orange Porsches look great. I like it.

My Coral Red GTS is orangeish in the right light, but still thinking about wrapping or plastidipping my S4 (currently Guards Red) in orange. I suspect it would be better to do in in a temporary coating like this because I am worried it will fade in a few years, I suspect that color will go out of favor in a few years, and in general I think color changes are hard on the value of a car (not that my S4 has any real value with its current paint)

FWIW, I don't think your Coral Red GTS will ever go out of style!
That's an incredible build, put up a pic please.
Will PM you I have a few questions..

I guess it is true everything has been done,

I had been looking at the pasha pattern and sketching a template for just my front drivers fender. I went on the Registry to look at Bluemaxx and there was your GTS.

I planned to ghost mine in with a single stage silver/blue that was very subtle.

Beautiful job on the GTS, you should be very proud.

Coral red is probably my favorite 928 color. However, since orange is my favorite color, I would love to see a completely stock GTS in orange.

+2, surprised so few of us chimed in on liking the orange.

It's a tempting color change. Looks great on the 928 body shape, better than on a contemporary 911 imo.
Early or pre-'74 911s look OK orange, but not with big bumpers.
I also like how visible this orange or Red Coral makes you on the road.
Been hit twice in my blue 911.


Early orange 911s go for more money at auction i've noticed.

I like how they added some to the rear fenders, looks slick, who ever did this great job.
And the color is sweet.

Start with a black/black car and when you do a wrap it ALWAYS looks like it was painted (if you do most of the jambs anyway) and is really hard to beat! Just look at the wrap thread and how my '95 came out. When I open a door or hood, you don't even think, "hey this car isn't REALLY GREEN!" You don't think anything at all...which was, of course, the point! The car looks like it came from Porsche GREEN!
