Default A color that just doesn't do it for me

checking on my PDI GT3 yesterday I saw this out back. Apologies to the owner if he/she is on here, but had to take a couple of pics. not sure why the nose was off, didn't see any damage,

but man this color just does not do anything for me - on a cloudy day it came across as a metallic vomit color:

To each their own, but Lime Gold Metallic doesn't do it for me either.

I'd agree, not exactly a head turner..more puzzling

anybody have good info on how Porsche determines their color selections year by year?

I know the Macademia is newer (like) and trending, LGM just doesn't seem optimal
for a GT3

i'll try to remember to ask - maybe doing an escort setup? I know front bumper comes off for that, but do you have to pull headlights first?

Slap a set of black wheels on that car and it will look better IMHO.
