My Gawd that is sweet.

If multi color is an option, how about painting it white with the splashes of other colors, ala Champion Porsche?

What is the paint code on the rainforest green metallic. Whenever I get a 951 be it this year or next thats the color I want. That color is amazing.

I will throw in a second vote for Graphite. Park it under a tree and the sun and shade will play all kinds of beautiful tricks to it:



Compare it to the other colored cars in the photo and you really come o appreciate that deep rich glasslike reflectivity it gives off without being so dark it absorbs the light, but without being so light you lose the depth.

That Alpine white and classic II combo has changed my opinion on white 951s forever, real nice. Nice floor too.

I gotta vote graphite as well. The color has so much depth to it. It really looks amazing in person.
Here are a couple shots of UDPride's car that I snagged.

Pete I can see your white car in the fender!!

Those were good times man. Im sure Perry will be at this years show. We need to come up with a plan to hijack the waterpumper class from him!! I think we should Reddi-Whip some flames on his when hes farting around over by the 959.

Take a look at the goofy guy next to the tree in the pic you posted!
Aaaaaugh!! It's me!

I wish I could paint my car Graphite, but I think it would look like butt with a dark blue interior.

the graphite's VERY nice but i don't want to hide the lines of the widebody, i kinda want to accentuate it, so that rules out darker colors for the most part...

after visiting the paint shop the other day, unless somethign drastic comes up, it'll either be 2003 Hummer Sunset Orange (coppery-metalic orange), BMW Imola Red II (new M3) or BMW Alpine White (also M3). nick those wheels on your car make me wish i hadn't sold mine... damn

I knew it was a good idea to tell Nickhance about those wheels you had for sale dmoffit. $1000 for a set of wheels like that with new S03 tires included is a steal!
