Is the car Sapphire Blue? I think I like it. Much less boring than stock.

I think it looks cool.

Personalize what you can to make it yours I always say.

Needs paint correction. I recommend pressure washing, complete foam down, separate wash and rinse buckets, aww shoot just go read the Money trends journal.

Personally, who cares. Its a waste of money IMO. But it's your money, so you get to decide.

I love factory painted hardbacks. Another option, for aftermarket is to have the seatback wrapped vs painted. Works for certain colors. Faster. Cheaper. Reversible.

If you want to see some awesome painted hardbacks, go visit the 993 Forum. Particularly Opo's cars and posts. FYI. A good set of 993 factory harback seats will set you back +$5,000.

Here's the link:

I think it looks way better than the volcano gray hard backs.

IMHO, with your leather color combo they are definitely better than silver painted.

No, 'Sapphire' is a lighter shade of blue. It looks perhaps like 'Dark Blue Metallic'.
