1st Pics - My New Night Blue Metallic TTS
 
****SEE POST #12 BELOW FOR SWEETER PICS A FEW DAYS AFTER WE TOOK DELIVERY****

My new NBM TTS (beige/black interior) arrived at the dealer Thursday (April 13), 5-1/2 months after we ordered it. We pick it up next Wednesday afternoon (April 19). Meanwhile, they've been prepping the car, tinting the windows, and for the past two days applying the protective coating of the entire car that I requested. Here are several of the bunch of pics my SA graciously sent me; the first, rather scruffy, is the first evening shortly after arrival at the dealer; the next is during dealer prep; and the next two are during application of the coating. We are SO looking forward to next Wednesday afternoon!

Looks great. My night blue will be coming soon (hopefully). Sitting off the coast of Jacksonville now.

I'll be putting it on back HRE classic 300s. Stoked now -- every picture of night blue is different: it does change a good bit with the light. I love how it sometimes looks black with a hint of blue.

Exactly, pics often can't capture that; it can look brilliant in sunlight, and black in low light, but -- and here's what sold me -- always elegant-looking. I've had a similar experience with my orange metallic vette (minus the elegance!), the color sounds outrageous but in person it's gotten many compliments, brilliant orange/gold in sunlight, a subdued burnt orange on cloudy days.

Love the color! Look forward to seeing pics in different light conditions. I had a BMW X6M at one point in Carbon Black and loved how it changed colors depending on time of day and light environment. Went from a dark blue/purple to black.

Congratulation on picking up your new 911 Turbo S, that Night Blue Metallic is a beautiful option and is one of my personal favorites! In the event you are looking to pick up a new set of wheels for street or track use, take a look at our product thread here. It would be a pleasure to work with you and have a set of our wheels featured on your car :)

Congrats...enjoy and use in good health.

Just went over 20k on my 15TTS.

Also, the only mod was sharkwerks exhaust. Very happy with it.

Thanks. I plan to wait and see what the stock exhaust is like, but an exhaust mod could very well be in my future as well.

That's my next color!

Did you consider the graphite blue/chalk interior with the navy

Yes, I considered almost EVERY possible non-PTS color, but I preferred the rich earth tones of the beige (and black).

Also very happy with my Sharkwerks exhaust too. Muscular sounding with lots of pops on decel when in Sport mode. It's basically a muffler delete, perfect if you want to keep the stock cats and full warranty. Might be too loud with HF cats though.
Mine is also Night Blue with full clear wrap, Great choice !

After having our new NBM home for a few days, we finally got the opportunity to take some pics of the new baby in all its glory (the funny stuff that appears to be on top of the car is actually a reflection of the budding trees above; I still have to get a better license plate frame):

Looks great, I have yet to see one of this color in-person. Looks darker than Dark Blue Metallic.

Misplacedyankee 04-26-2017 01:16 PM

Great color. Wow.

JD911 04-26-2017 06:18 PM

Congratulations AviBen. That is a great color.
