Smile 2001 Emerald Green Mica

Thanks, oh I forgot to mention it's a 2001 model. I learned that the rims are bigger than 18' inch. Porsche technically rounds the number to make it easy for fitment. I think in reality they are 18.3 or something around there. Yes I agree with you Barn996 it is rare to see a green Carrera in the area. A friend of mine saw one around a Rally's gas station about 3 months ago. Exactly like mine except different rims.

I have to have tint here in Florida otherwise the leather interior gets too hot, even in a garage trust me. LOL Pac996 your a 100% right. No its parked at a Car/ Detail shop in Tampa.

Yes it has both Navi/Cassette deck and an aftermarket Alpine head unit at the bottom. The Navi cd unit is installed on the passenger side (left side) footwell. I'll take more pictures when the weather is nicer, more interior and engine shots to come!

I read that official Porsche colors come in silver, red, black, white, blue, gray, yellow and midnight blue. I don't see to many burgundy, purple, orange and green though. I disagree I think any color is good except brown maybe? depends on the quality of paint and shape of car. Btw who's Ferry?

Oooh ah, very nice I like it alot! I never seen a dark green cab, you have the best of both worlds. How do you like it?
How many miles you have on yours? any troubles so far?
What packages did your 996 come with? Navigation, carbon fiber etc..

That's because you never posted pics of your car in your "intoductory" thread!

We take our pics very seriously around here. No pics = no "oh...ah".... !

Welcome. Congrats on the new car! Looks great! I like the color combo too! I've always especially liked that color of interior!
