Default Lime Green Porsche

After sitting by the fireside many a night pondering on how to get this car the way I really want it, and not wanting to sacrifice my turbo for a GT3...or have to wait my whole life for Porsche to make one in my favorite green...I decided to experiment a little.

Everything has been professionally done and I'm very satisfied so far in its progress. I tried to stay close within Porsche's factory "guidelines" with the accents. I've owned quite a few exotics and it turns heads like no other. Even Lambo guys turn around to catch a
glimpse. Pretty funny. What do you think? I can take the heat

Not too bad. A while ago, someone found a classified ad for a very green 996 with green leather interior... Yours is far better than that!

With the exception of the "turbo" script on the fender, I like it!

Looks good! Definitely unique! I would stretch my neck for a second look if I saw it on the road!

I like the "Turbo" script on the rear quarter panel. Reminds me of the early 930's that had a "Turbo" logo there.

I like the green on the GT3RS a little better then the color you have. Unique without a doubt.

The script on the fender and quarter panel need to be straight and not in an angle like you have. Every script put on fenders whether it was 951 turbo, 911 CS, 911 RS were always straight. I would redo them cause now it looks like you were drunk when you attempted the task.

I personally think it went overboard. Maybe changing the wheel colors back to original or getting aftermaket wheels will do the trick. I would also takeout the turbo script. But that is just me. Whatever suits your taste sir.
