Yes, I agree. It looks phenomenal on some colours like lava orange and mahogany. But it's too late now. Maybe I'll do it on my next build in a few years.

Miami blue has become one of my favorite colors offered in the 911. While I love Mexico blue as much as the next person, Miami seems to have a lot more pop due its greenish tones. Just more exciting to my eye whether you love it or hate it. I bet if it becomes a discontinued color or only available in PTS, it would gain a more cult like status like Mexico. I agree though that the name doesn't help its cause. Thumbs up to all who have chosen this color.

Like Larry, I did the painted interior trim in exterior color. Actually, my wife insisted.

Haha, my SA asked me not to cancel this as I am sure it is unusual and would be hard to sell, but I am a sucker for outrageous color combos.

I'll be adding these as soon as they hit [insert your favorite OEM parts vendor here].

Thumbs up Favorite Color

It's my favorite color on Porsche . I've gotten past the fear that it would be to loud a color for me. Every time I see it now I just fall in love with the color.

Tied for second would be White and Black. Tied for third would be Rhodium Silver Metallic and Sapphire Blue Metallic

Laryy--Thanks for your excitement!
Unfortunately, blue is one of the worst textile colors for showing dirt, so it won't be happening in my car. And I'm not OCD.

I saw a Miami blue new GTS yesterday, car looked awesome. I think it would be a great combo with the GTS silver interior package. For next time.

How is the yellow holding up over time? I am leaning toward yellow belts and stitching on my order.

I just discovered this page ( hey Ski Porsche - I'm back! ) and I really dig this colour BUT is is ever "too much"? Do you ever tire of it?

Here's what I'm looking at... loves the darkened wheels with it.
