A couple photos from The Carspots on the web. First was taken at the ring. I haven't seen that license plate before, so might be another green one in Europe. Second one at spa apparently. Can't comment on who did the yellow stitching, but the owner did lots of yellow accents on a nice looking riviera car (neat illuminated sills too). Maybe aftermarket yellow gauge cluster and SC faces?? Or maybe some really high up factory connections??

Ahh, of course, now that makes so much sense! Thanks for the clarification! Anyway, too bad they didn't do yellow stitching for the GT3 (oops, hope I haven't reopened that can of worms!).

My first thought was black, too -- I'm a huge fan of the Black on Black 911s. But then, IMO, you just lose too many details that make the car special. The contrast of the grills throughout. Those design features were just too cool to lose. But, it is a wicked car in black and invokes incredible mystery. Good for you!
Now drive the crap out of it.

I wanted to get a lift, but it's not possible in my garage. If you look at the front of the garage, there is a bulkhead over the garage doors. Due to this, I couldn't get the door rails extended to the ceiling to make room for a lift. I'm stuck with only two cars inside.

And / or go with an in-ground scissor lift so you can always lower the car if you need to open the garage door.

As requested, here are some other photos of my garage that I recently had renovated. My contractor did a great job and it became a race to get it done before my GT3 arrived which ended up being delivered a month early. The tile is porcelain PEI 5 from rocatilegroup.com. It is unpolished anthracite 24" x 24" with tile number: fm20760311 for anyone who is interested. I'll spare everyone the before photos as it was an utter mess, essentially unrecognizable compared to what it is now. The garage doors are a semi-opaque glass so light is transmitted. The lights are LEDs from bigasslights.com. Each fixture is 20000 lumens, so 80000 total. They are motion sensored. The garage door openers are side mounted so no chains over the bays. Cabinets are from Costco. I looked into some more expensive cabinet companies that had better quality, but at 3 times the price. Costco made more sense to me and the cabinets are pretty good anyway. This garage is a project I've wanted to do for years and what better time than before the GT3 arrived? I don't have any decent outdoor photos of my car yet, but will add them soon.

I have the same kind of set up in the garage with low rails.... but with very low cars it's only the middle one with the opener that is a limitation; I don't think you'll have that problem.
