17 Inch Cup Ones with painted crest. The only thing that will look odd is the total lack of window tint. That color needs a slight tint to finish the job but no one will tint the rear window. I was going to do it myself, but then the liquor wore off.

I vote for Porsche Rainforest Green Metallic. Duke's car is gorgeous and I feel that with all of your updates (mirrors, 968 adjustable wing, etc.) your car could look even better. If I were to paint a 951 I would either want Rainforest Green Metallic, Black, Sami951's metallic charcoal color, or the typical Guards Red.

Sami's car is LB7V or Graphite Metallic, an 86 color. However, his paint is lighter than stock as part of it was resprayed with a custom shade and the rest was blended. In all honesty I prefer his lighter graphite metallic to mine which is much, much darker ;|

Cheers,
Sach

Just a freindly reminder, black is a serious PITA to keep clean.

Sorry for the lack of style, I hope the true color comes through. This car was painted by a great shop in West Chester, PA called 3-D bodyworks. The owner treated it like it was a 2004 GT-3. He repaired all of the dings and scratches and basically gave me a brand new car. The origional color was India Red, but I don't even remember it now. Hope this helps.

that's quite pretty! after seeing it however, I def. don't think it would go w/ my black wheels (it needs the silver to stand out like yours do - GOD that car looks NICE esp the rear 3qtr view!)

I saw a 968 in the Techart Blue. It was sharp. If I were to paint my car I would go with that blue.
