Default Anyone with Night Blue 992 in SF Bay Area?

Hey folks, is there anyone that lives in the SF Bay Area with a Night Blue 992? I'm finalizing my build and would love to come see the color in person if possible. I've found a few pics on RL but there are no dealers in my area with that color in inventory. My mother-in-law has a Cayenne in dark blue but I believe it's slightly different than the 911 Night Blue Metallic. DM me if you're willing to help, happy to meet socially distanced at a location convenient for you.

My build won't lock until February so I have some time. This will be my second 911, coming from a 991.1 C2S. I plan to daily this as much as possible, but will be keeping my Model S as a backup so plan to go with MT

Build is here for reference.

Thanks!

Found a local store who had a Night Blue 4S on the lot for a few days before being picked up by its new owner. Figured I'd attach a few pics since I haven't seen too many online. It's a beautiful color in person.

I considered Night Blue when I got my C2S, but ended up with Gentian Blue. NB is a very pretty color, but nothing special IMHO (just like any other dark blue metallic)--GB really pops in the sun and looks great even sitting in the garage. I also got the Chalk/Slate leather interior and Carrera Classic wheels, which go well with either color.

I have a NB TTS, had a NB TT and have a NB Macan. Besides a NB Range Rover.... I am biased, but it’s a great color.

These pics make me like Night Blue far more than I thought!

There’s something about the combination of the NB with the red brake calipers behind the RS wheels that I just love. I don’t have my ceramic coating done yet, but I’ll get some full sun photos here soon where you can see the incredible metallic effect of NB. In person, it’s just a gorgeous color.

I saw NB on a Targa with a black hoop - looked awesome.

Not in your area but just got my C2 in NB with slate gray wearing 19/20 Winter slippers. It is overcast which will generally make NB look darker.

its a beautiful color. I would consider it on my P Car if it wasn't for the fact that I have driven a Carbon Black BMW for the last 14 years. Bimmer version of the same color

I think colored Porsche crest wheel caps would really help the looks!

I’m thinking of adding them to my RS Spyder wheels (photos above). They add a bit of pop.

Yeah, way too much continuous silver/gray otherwise...they will make a big difference!

They are now colored. I ordered them as black and white so I would have spares but got the colored ones through getporschparts with my winter wheels. I swapped them out today and will keep the black and whites as spares

Remember this is in the overcast light. in the sun it looks a lot brighter. With the Gentian Blue If found that in the sun it was just too bright, made it look almost purple. The night blue spoke to me a little more. Both are great colors.
