Oh, your 997 is the best color ever. I dream of ordering a new car in either mexico or riviera. Would kill to see the cars in better light!

Tell you went with a nephrite green interior and you are my hero!

I didn't order the car; I am the creative genius that said "That one. I like that one"
No Nephrite interior for me. Would it not be so cool to have a RUF with a Nephrite Green interior, what with all the green gauge faces and trim bits? I think, though, that I personally would aim for a Silver/Nephrite combo.
Mexico Blue (and Riviera Blue) both have plain ol' black interiors. If i could pick a different interior, it would be Cocoa or Natural Brown. Something warm and old school to me about those.

Ithatch,

Love the setup, love the color! I saw this same car at Imagine Auto a couple weeks ago...does it happen to be the same car?

I immediately walked straight to it as it caught my eye right away! If it is the same car, congrats, it's even more beautiful in person!

That's the one! Thanks. I dropped a few nickels with those guys before getting it home, but nothing like what was spent on the car by the PO.

I want that picture on the calendar!!!!

Shame about the 997 board - after years of persuasion, my bro recently bought a 997 S and I just turned him onto the 997 board (naturally) - I hope that (i) he joins RL and (ii) he doesn't blame/hate me if he has a rough/tough time over there!!

But that first pic of yours is fcukin brilliant!

I wonder how much of that is an optical illusion or camera effect.
Take a look at the 1:19pm picture, the 993 looks a tad bigger then the 997...
