Thanks! The center locks are standard but there are a couple of non-cl alternatives - the Sport Classics included.

Outstanding! More pics please!

But is the PTS color really called "Gulf" Blue?

I read once that Porsche lost it rights to use the Gulf name after their racing partnership expired. Perhaps Porsche has rekindled the Gulf relationship like they did with Martini.

If that were my car, I wouldn't be able to resist adding a Gulf Racing decal. Probably on the rear quarter window or a magnet stick on, so it wouldn't be permanent.

Thanks for all of the comments on this car. Know the color isn't for everyone but I've just always been a fan of the color and the Gulf livery and history in general. I have considered different striping options but after seeing the vehicle in person, I have to admit that I just don't think it needs a thing - I might change my mind on this over time, but right now just loving the way it looks. Here are a couple of additional pictures - the color changes considerably in different lighting.

I love it!
I think it looks great and your car will stand out for sure.
To be honest,they're too many silver and black out there,yours is special.

I like your idea of keeping the look pure and simple. Save the orange stripe for a GT3. It's not my car or money, but I might consider changing the brake calipers from yellow to orange. A subtle nod to Porsche's racing history in the Gulf colors.

Great looking PTS turbo. The wheels and trim in black offer a nice balance in color. Enjoy.

Oh my goodness, that car looks amazing.

That's good old Gulf Blue. I tried to get it on my 06 Cab but Porsche AG had trouble with the color back then--too light for a non-metallic color. Happy enough with my Blue Turquoise. There was never a 'rights' issue with Gulf Blue--it had always been a technical challenge for their sub vendors to get all the pieces to match.
