It is the red that was closest to guards red...powder coated locally..cost 300$ for all 4 wheels.

My car is Midnight Blue too. Mirrors are OEM red....not decals.

I love the midnight blue, I talked with a local graphics guy today here in Wellington (New Zealand) and he can do the side graphics for around $300 plus I get the wheels done as well. The red looks spectacular.
The 996 Turbo has to be the best value for money 911 around. I hear so much spoken about how the air cooled cars are the only true Porsche, I've owned three but this new car is just magic.

NICE! All the personal touches simply kick it up a notch or two. Yellow might be my new favorite. Hey JB where did you get your black headlight decal or how'd you isolate your headlight ala 997 and tell me about your grille inserts (where or how'd you did it). kenny
