Thanks Tim
I will try to figure it out today. By BTW, my sister and brother-ini-law live in Concord. He drives both a 911 and a 928 GT and is a PCA member. My guess is you guys have crossed paths. As the local plastic surgeon, you might have seen some of his work running around town!!

I may have seen some of his work, but I don't think I have seen his 911. I'll look for him in the future.

This would be from a private seller, correct?

I jsut bought my 2001 C4 in Rain Forest Green 3 weeks ago. This is my first shot at uploading, so any snafu's, I apologize. This is the only file I cold upload. I used lo-res on my camera, says it is over 150mb. Any idea how to get them smaller or to upload a larger file.?? In person, the color and combo is STUNNING! Aside from the factory aero, it has 030 suspension, full leather, C/F, Hi-Fi, etc, etc. Great site!!!

Nice looking P-car! You can resize your photos using MS Paint or a photpshop software, or you can do it on the web at this site.

Please post some more pics because we don't see too many Green P-car here.

the resize site works very well. I will take a few shots and get them posted. I think Rain Forest Green might become the new rage for P-cars!!!!

Is "Rain Forest Green" different from "Forest Green?" The only three colors of green taht are currently available are: Forest Green Metalic, Dark Olive Metalic, and Dark Teal Metalic.

If "Rain Forest Green" is different from "Forest Green" then the only way to get RFG is through the "paint to sample" option.

I have the 2001 sales book, and the only standard "green" color shown is listed as Rain Forest Green Metallic. My color code is L2AI. The 997 in the local showroon is showing RFG as an $800 upgrade. If there is a Forest Green Metallic, I am not sure if it is different or someone using the wrong term. I saw one listed on autotrader by a dealer who obviously has no clue, he is listing it as "Jungle Green!" Hmmm.

I pulled the "Forest Green Metallic" description directly from the Porsche web site car configurator. The Porsche site could be wrong, because I have found a few other errors on the configurator. One obvious error is the "Leather Seats" and "Full Leather" option descriptions are reversed.

I just looked at the 2006 order guide. It also lists "Forest Green Metallic."
