It wouldn't be my first choice, but I don't mind it.

I don't mind it all. I think it looks better with red lights though.

Not a color that I would choose....however I tend to agree with Vic55, the Black wheels make a bit more tolerable.

Ibknow we've discussed this before (probably everything at this point).. But how does Porsche make lime gold, amaranth, and mahogany available, and then leave out orange, green, and the various blues like riviera and voodoo... Makes no sense to me... No sense

red lights, black wheels and black PORSCHE decals on the side would improve it a lot. white is still faster.

IMHO all of Porsche's metallic are too flat, from DBM to this lime gold color all just missing subtle hues, like here if it had a green hint or if MAhagony really had a purple tint in it. They just look like metallics from the 70's and in a bad way.

He had PACADD - Porsche Adult Configurator Attention Deficit Disorder. He got so preoccupied with ticking the lime gold PTS box on the configurator that he forget to get a bumper cover and headlights. Probably was waffling between some annoying LED-black surround PDSL baloney and Xenons ... just never ordered either ....
