Default My new Dark Blue Metallic GTS...

I would like to introduce the new member. I am back to owning a Porsche after 4 yrs of being Porsche-less. What an amazing car so far!

The hardest part of getting the GTS was picking the right color. I went through the entire color scheme of colors that Porsche offers and ended up with DBM.

Reasons for DBM
It still looks aggressive.
It's not black, white or silver ( wanted something different)
It's classy and understated.
It could look black without being black
I am very pleased with the color so far, and never thought that I would have ended up picking DBM......

The pictures here show the car with the ugly side markers and a few with the new clear side markers. I will post some more pictures soon. Cheers!

Beautiful car sanchez, but I'm biased of course. Good luck.

I went thru the same type of back and forth on color and also never thought I'd end up with DBM. In addition to your reasons, one of the reasons that pushed me to DBM was that the blue softtop is an almost exact match. Other than black, there's no other color that achieves that. And to my eye, the same body and top color makes the car look a bit more like a coupe with the top up.

Exciting stuff! The color and matching cab top are very nice. Enjoy some sunny top down days.
