Surprised the crap out of me, I really like that pastel Mexicano blue
Maybe it's just the Aero package clouding my vision.
i think RUF has teh same colours... not only that, he also has Matching Sticthing, all over the Interior... Must say the Aero-Kit and Champions really help the Colour...

Agreed Zookie

The bright pastelish blue stitching would be sweet, very striking.
Glad the pumpkins were gone, that alone might have ruined it.

I'm getting a Martha Stewart like feeling from all this, might need to run downstairs and stare at my black 996 for a minute...

Well, it's not flashy, but it IS unique .... Mirage Metallic.

As far as I can tell, it was only available in 1999 and 2000, and there are only **2** Mirage Metallic 996s for sale on AutoTrader currently out of 502 1999-2000 model 996s . . . . If anyone has more info, please let me know.



It also happens to be almost the exact same color as my beloved BMW E30 cabrio (which is "Bronzit Beige"):

i saw mirage metallic in person in toronto. i've only seen 1 of that color in all my years of giving a damn about p-cars
1999 only color, very rare. interesting to see in person. it looks very golden at times, but othertimes looks like a silver/brown mix that is more subdued. its a color that wears very poorly on cars that arn't aerokitted or at least lowered with spacers or proper wheels.
