Question GT3 Cobalt Blue

Does anyone have a picture of a MY04 Cobalt Blue Metallic GT3? I have one on order that I have a couple of weeks to change. Should I change?

Default Any Pictures?

I have an artic silver 02 C4S, and I had a mellenium edition 911. I was thinking of going a bit sportier with the cobalt blue - with the cermaic breaks and yellow dials, belts, and deviating stiching.

I wanted to see some pictures as I have never seen cobalt blue in person.

Any Pictures???

Here is one from Yoseif's gallery



Among the current options, it is the best blue available, and is a strong contender for the second-best all time (after Iris, clearly the best blue EVER ).

Do I have to add IMHO? How about just IMO!

In my humble opine Zenith Blue is far better that Iris Blue (ewwwwww).

By the way that GT2 looks like ZenBlue not Cobolt Blue. Could tyhere be an error in the paint catagory that was placed in? (Just curious if we are certain that the color is correct on Yosief"s site)

I guess I am some what partial and my eyes may be playing tricks on me.

Seems iffy, you haven't seen a cobalt in person, after going to a Porsche dealership most likely more than once, after buying the Porsches you own.

Well anyway, it is a nice blue, but whats wrong with the two Porsches you've got?

The reason -> Porches have so many more curves than BWMs that the different reflections would really stand out.
Carbon black?

Unfortunately the paint to sample option isn't available for the '04 GT3, in any market.

Not a bad price either given that it isn't much more than some of the optional metalic colors. I think paint to sample can delay your delivery by a couple of months though.

I dunno... Cobalt Blue and Zen Blue look very close to each other. Hard top tell the difference.

Default I am very happy you can now get the GT3 with custom paint.

Can you get non-metallic paint to sample also ????
Is there a leather sample also ???? I wish.


Were there "ANY" other changes to the ordering guides
on the GT 3 ? Maybe we can give Porsche a few dollars
to crash the Club Sports so they can sell them in the USA.
LOL.


The last ordering guide did not show X-45E painted gauges
in red, yellow, or white.


I am way way in the back of the GT 3 bus with an April 04
build date.


Perhaps they will sneak in a few RS models for us hapless
Americans ??? NO WAY
