Thanks man... it is only moderately clean in the pic above. I spent a good 4 hours on Sunday getting it in properly clean condition, now it is looking even better.

The ABM extended at least into the 2013 991's. Not sure if the conversion to Sapphire was exactly at the MY14 cutover, or before or after.

I had a Cobalt blue Cayman S and it looked like a jewel in the middle of the white, silver, black and grey cars around it at PCA events. I looked for a blue 911 last year and couldn't find any, I settled for the Agate 2012 because of equipment, miles and price. I'm happy with the Agate but would have been thrilled to have found a Sapphire car.
