That's looks exactly like Lotus' trade mark pea green. Now all you need it a couple of yellow stripes and some yellow painted wheels to match! Great lookin' car!!!!
Never seen this color before and I am a real Green fan.
I have PTS Arena red TT and love it as you never see another one around town
I'd probably be up for a trade

Whats going on with the second color in the air intakes? Never seen that before on any 996 I recall.
i was also wondering about the contrasting intakes. It says special instructions on the build sheet so I am wondering if that's what that could be. Good eye. I'll try to post a better pic showing them.

it honestly really isn't. I use to detail cars and I'm quite picky but hope to have her looking near 100% in the spring.

I was thinking the same thing regarding it looking like a lotus color. It has a weird brown undertone at times which is hard to describe and only comes out in certain lighting conditions.
unfortunately it doesn't :/ it's none of those colors... thanks though!

And it’s probably time for engine mounts...
I'll post the build sheet for you. Also I dont think it's lowered? But to be honest I haven't even had the wheels off of it yet myself. Mechanic said engine mounts hadn't dropped yet and seemed okay, but I was thinking the same thing as you haha.
Irish is getting warmer, as it's non-metallic, but m635dude's green has more yellow in it to bring it to a more olive hue. Irish Green is more blue/yellow balanced, or compared to OP's, more blue.
That has to be one of the Best PTS 996 I have ever seen. I love how it looks in the direct sunlight. If it's in the shadows you really wouldn't notice it being PTS. Great find! hold on to her!
