very nice, congrats, my 02 Targa was exactly this color combo. Drive this baby and when you think you've had enough.....drive it some more.

Kristy, meet Kyle (he's a little dramatic, do a search for threads started by him. The BOLD statement will become perfectly clear

But he's a good guy - can take what he dishes out.

Kristy,

Thanks for the pics and the intro. Great looking 996. I had an '04 with the same color combination, except my car had deviating carpet in Metro Blue.

Kristy:

WELCOME. Nice looking 996. I love that color blue. I'll bet it just glows as it's rolling down the street. If your experience is anything like mine (I've now had my car for a full week) you will continue to burn through tanks of gas as you enjoy punching the gas and zipping around corners, looking for the Apex so that you can hit the gas and bring that big rear end around. Hmmmmmm.

Enjoy your ride, and glad to see a P-car Gal among us.

Are you sure? I can't imagine doing that nice a job on the headunit and upgrading the amp only to use the same cheap speakers. Check under one of the covers, I'll bet they're new too.

Lapis blue is a great color.

Plan on frequent fill ups. Wait til you go to the track, you can watch the needle fall.

The color is very grabbing.. I guess for lack of a betterword maybe very rich, may be a better term, like a good chocolate cake!

And trust me, dont post a pix. You WILL NEVER get any answers to your questions that will be taken seriously. Trust me DONT DO IT. And you may want to change your Name to Kris.
