Did anyone notice this?

The original color of the car is silver but you can not tel it was painted unless you look inside the engine.
I wouldn't **** on that car if it was on fire.

How can you tell by looking inside the engine?

Not to comment on your post, but to mention that I saw a turquoise blue/black 993 cab by my shop at the 4/680 interchange today. Looked great, almost painted my old racecar that color 10 years ago!

I think he means that the inside of the case and combustion chambers are still the original factory color.

We're obviously dealing with a particularly gifted individual here.

Wow. It's been several years since I last saw another turquoise 993 - and that was in SoCal.

Love the air ducts/scoops ... appear to be a different shade of yellow ... and fit about as good as OJ's murder glove when he was showing the genius jurors he couldn't have done it.

Is it just the angle, or are those brake ducts different sized openings?
Maybe it's a special HVAC cooling duct option?
