Paint the mirrors black, those fin things on the sides black and add a black cayman script on it and it will look fine.

Looks great to me. Like the contrast with the black wheels too. While grey is cool; grey, grey, grey and grey and for somthing a bit different, grey and grey, can be a little, well, grey.

Actually, I do not like all bright colored Porsches, especially ones with black wheels ! Let's paint the world grey!

I really don't mind the color that much. I think it would fit on certain P-Cars. The problem for me, I guess, is that the Cayman is really an ugly Porsche. I have followed a Boxter down the road (on a Porsche Tour) and I like the look of that car. Later that day I followed a Cayman for a few hours and I could not believe how bad a Cayman looks from the rear... really, really bad. That car was designed to be a soft top and it works visually. Putting a hard top on it was a mistake...it just does not work! And, it seems that the lighter the color of the Cayman the worse it looks...a white Cayman is hiddious...for some reason a black or dark blue Cayman looks better.
Sorry white Cayman owners...JMO

Jerry, Just goes to show that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think they are a work of art from the front wheels all the way back.

It can't compete with Worst Color Ever, IMO:

I don't mind the color on the Cayman just wish it was on a different car. The cayman needs to be black or red

Actually, when I first saw this pic posted some time back, several guys liked it.
The 'G.I. Joe' appeal, apparently.
Maybe those are really gun ports in the bumper?

Barry, I like a very broad range of colors, some not that I would like to own, but I can appreciate them. But with that color all my tolerance goes out the window.....I think I am going to be sick........
