Agree, Riviera blue on the 996 and Mint green on the 964...quite rare in the green.

Maybe I'm biased, but I *like* the idea!

Great idea. My car has quite a bit of road rash and 85k. Initially my plan was to respray but after seeing the picture below, I've got the biggest wood for that color and have been thinking of doing a color change. If the car has higher mileage and/or the paint is in poor condition, I don't think it would affect resale...if anything, it might improve it. Do it!

Fabtastic colour that- whats the name again? Very distinctive, but still masculine (not that there's anything wrong with that). I'd be tempted too.

Yes, 911. One of the most desirable classics. The spiritual predecessor to today's RS.
