Boy, I tell you.. I was worried about the final result. Loved the shade of it 911 pics but could only find 2 (bad) pics of it on a boxster, so was going on my minds eye for this. Almost changed it to a more common PTS. Looked at the the list a lot before PTS became available and wanted some outside of the standard voodoo, riviera, etc.
Fantastic colors but this was my one chance to pick something unique

Prestige over in Lakewood. Yeah, it's a short drive from Denver and I think the smallest dealer in the area.

Thanks everyone!

You might want to ask what kind of oil they are putting into your car...

Or "Garota de", from the original title Garota de Ipanema.

Or maybe simply Rio, where Ipanema is located?

Question Milehigh: Is Ipanema Blue a metallic or nonmetallic color. It's hard to tell in the pics which is good.
