Default Mexico Blue or Maritime Blue?

I am torn. They are both so beautiful. Mexico is more vibrant, of course. I have a long time to think about it. It's for the 991 GT3 I have a deposit on for delivery in about 2 years!

Any thoughts? Black wheels are a must. I intend to drive it everyday.

Can't lose with either - sort of like Maritime better. After seeing the Birch Green RS - has me thinking about that color too!

Similar to the other two, but my favorite of the three followed closely by Mexico and then Maritime.

Riviera? Sure, an absolute knockout. I give the nod to Mexico, which is close. My choice will probably be Mexico. I'll drive it everyday. My speed yellow '04 GT3 has certainly turned a lot of heads over the years. I intend to do the same with the next one.

Black wheels on the Riviera for sure, it's a lighter blue.
I'd stay with silver on the Maritime, it's a darker blue and gives a better contrast.
PS check out this all original 964 Martime RS - silver wheels.

Sorry GT3 should be white (with racing numbers).

dertub:

May I suggest you expand your 'blue' horizons and consider 'Crystal Blue'. It is a vintage early 911 color (e.g. 1970), quite rare ('special order' even back then) and stunningly beautiful! It is a flat, non-metallic color and you might have the only 991 gt3 gal at the Porsche ball with that striking exterior hue! Just a thought....

Saludos, z356 (Carmel)
