Hi folks,

My 996 w/ PSE is black on black with full leather.

Right now, I am thinking of getting a 997s with x51 black on black with full leather.

I feel like I should get a new exterior color. Is it wrong to think that I NEED to get a new color or is it ok to get the same color over and over.

This is a psychology question really, as I know there isnt anything wrong with this. I hope this makes sense

if u like the same color..get it over and over.

This is wrong on sooo many levels. Either way you will always wonder: "What if..." The only healthy thing to do is to sell the porsche and buy an older toyota corrola of indeterminant color.

is wrong not to have a gorgeous blond on the hood of your porsche!!!!

^ hehe, thanks.

cmoss...if he buys the corolla he's prolly better off financially...those 86 corolla's shot up in value since every kid saw intitialD and wants 2 go drifing

If you did it right the last time, and it makes you happy, why not get it right again ?

Once you go black you'll never go back.

nothing wrong with same color. i have had close to 20 cars, everyone of them are silver on black except two.

Two ideas:

1. The Porsche color chart is pretty uninspiring. There's no subtlety for being different. You're a red or yellow flashyguy or a black sleek guy or a favorite color arbitrary guy, or a silver Porsche's color guy, or a grey don't want a fuss guy. So suck it up and make your choice: they all somewhat suck.

2. Bite the bullet and hire a design consultant and develop your own color and do a paint to sample. seriously, the consultant can be found locally and will charge a couple hundred bucks, PTSample is..., what...? another $3500? P to sample seems very exciting way to approach Porsche color chart consternation.

Well, I hate to be contrary and you certainly need to do what makes you happy.

But my 996 was Arctic Silver. My car before that was silver. Our Audi is silver. I love silver cars. They look great. They're easy to keep clean. And in Florida they don't get as hot in the sun. And so I considered the various silvers for my 997S.

And then I started thinking, why not try something completely different? And then I fell in love with Cobalt. I adore it. And it feels sooooo right. And I can't believe I've been buying silver all this time. And it really seems more like a new car with a new color.

I'm not pushing Cobalt. It's just that I think an open mind is good. Change is good.

But don't get me wrong, I'm not a complete radical, I did stick with a black interior.

Get the color that you luv, and if it is the same everytime so be it!
