I always thought you were style conscious?

I'd buy a midnight blue, forrest green or other darker color with the sand interior. Recently I have developed fetish for sand interiors.
Black interior is so, well, black.
i've been called worse

Yes, the only color that was ever produced. Only 911 were made.

Silver is *the* quintessential Porsche color (and for MBs, too), IMHO.

I read recently that Porsche sanded the paint off their 550 racers back in the day to save weight, and that's why silver is THE classic Porsche color even today.

Maybe they should've just hired skinny drivers??

Default Orient Red

OK, I know I'm late, but I couldn't post until I had clear side markers

Orient Red (I think the color goes well with the interior, too)

Very nice. I like the red a lot. Love the wood interior also.

Default Here is one that is a 1% color

Orient Red



Red with some blue and silver metalflake in it, so the shade of red depends on the sun angle.

Redridge, Your car looks sweet! Never been a fan of the millenium editions, but then again this is the first i've seen with aero and the perfect interior to boot!

Until this thread I never looked in much detail at the color of your car, I thought it was basalt black or black before

Was at Pfaff tuning yesterday and the owner of the Mexico Blue 996 is the guy who does all the vinyl graphics for them.
