Default Aqua Blue on Agate-Pebble C2 Cab 7-Speed Manual...PICS!

This 2013 Carrera Cab has just landed and I really really like the way the Agate/Pebble looks with the Aqua Blue, what do you guys think? Thanks for looking!

Love it, thank you for the pics! If I had ordered a car instead of finding mine on the lot, that was going to be my interior/exterior color choice most likely. Love my car but love this also, wow. Stared at this combo in the configurator a lot and it's great to see one in the world!

Gorgeous. Those wheels strike me as the best yet from the factory- almost (but not quite IMHO) as good looking as classic Fuchs would be if they came in the right size.

(I once had a Porsche with a similar interior. All I can say is, wear very clean clothes).

It sure is a pretty car,...but something about Agate leather that still does not seem right to me, it's brown tint seems to put a limitation on it for exterior colors. Love the pebble though especially in a cab.

I'd love to see Porsche offer a Platinum Grey/Pebble & Blue/Pebble bi-color interior. Those would look awesome with both blues, silvers, white, etc.

Yes, nice color combo and oh my God those Sport Techno wheels are awesome! To me they just look awful on the configuration, but I was willing to give them a chance anyway just because they are lighter/stronger and 1/2" wider than the other wheels. But based on these photo's I would have to say they are hands down the best looking wheels on offer! Looks like they will also be the easiest to clean. Even better than the Fuchs on my '79 SC. (Sorry, Chuck! Admittedly close call. And in fairness, would still have to give the win to the Fuchs due to their forged strength and unparalleled pedigree. But man these ST's are nice!)

I've yet to see these in person so Geoff perhaps you'll be kind enough to provide more info, as to finish, they appear to be clear-coated with a brushed finish on the outer face of the spokes and rim and satin on the inner surfaces and hub area? Even the valve stem and caps have the same finish! Porsche perfect!

I have these wheels on my Aqua coupe and love them. They are very easy to clean and look great with this color. Since they are spun cast they are light and stronger than the other wheels for 991 but not a forging of course. They are the best OEM offering for performance, IMO.


Your description of the finish is spot on. The outer face is brushed aluminum and rest is as you described. I wasn't sure I would like them from the configurator but they are great looking wheels.

Thanks CD. I was wondering if they'd look even better painted body color, as on the limited ed Club Sport. But that was when I was looking at crummy images where the wheels appeared to be painted that common silver/gray color. Much prefer the clear coat over brushed and satin finish aluminum, a much more interesting look. You and Geoff got some nice looking 991's there!

Nice car, but I am more in love with my Carrara white S Cab with red interior that your dealership delivered to me a coupe of weeks ago!!! I am in Oregon and purchased my very slightly used 911 from this dealership in Springfield Illinois! Buying a used car, sight unseen, across the county takes a leap of faith!

Fortunately, I have a friend in Southern California that has purchased many cars from the Isringhausen dealership network and he praised them highly! My friend told me that they are very accurate in their description of their cars and that they are very "picky" in what cars they keep in their inventory. I also have another friend who Purchased a new GT-3 from Isringhausen Porsche who was also extremely happy too. Having two of my friends vouch for this dealership gave me the confidence to wire them the money on a car I had never seen or driven!

The gamble paid off - my car arrived in a nice, spotlessly clean enclosed truck and it was in absolute pristine condition! I was blown away by how perfect the car was when it arrived. I have purchased new Porsches that were not in as nice of condition as this car! Needless to say, I am thrilled and have saved many thousands of dollars over buying new, and the car had the exact options and color combination that I was looking for! This is the 9th Porsche that I have owned and is the best deal I have ever made!

Many thanks to everyone at your dealership, especially Jeff Colman! You have definitely earned a customer for life! Thanks again!

Your car sounds like a stunning combination as well! Thanks, I think it turned out great too!

We were just talking about the yesterday how the Agate has a brown hue to it. Funny story about that actually, a colleague and I were at an event for the new Boxster with other Pcar dealers and these two gentleman started discussing whether the interior on Boxster S they were looking at was Pebble-Brown or Pebble-Agate. The one gentleman says, Pebble-Brown isn't even an interior color option, didn't you know that? The other guy says, yes it is and I would bet anything that this is Pebble-Brown, never call me again for a dealer trade, because you won't be getting it LOL. The first gentleman says, no problem, the pleasure is all mine, good luck ordering your Pebble-Brown Boxster ha.

Thanks!! Here is another pic of them up close. Your synopsis of the finish appears to be exact after looking at them up close. If you look at the pictures of the sport techno's in black only the inner surface is painted. This looks like how these are finsihed as well only not in black, instead with a clear-coat.

Congrats! I agree, these are my favorite wheels with the 20" Carrera S wheels in Platinum in a close second.
