That would really finish it off. Maybe some black exhaust tips as well.

Oh My GAWD! That is totally kick ***! You nailed it, nailed it, nailed it. The black rims are a good value for the money and they set a cool tone but imagine a set of TechniPolish Fikse Profil 10's.

So help me God I'm doing it next time with Stone Grey interior and leather center console... sans the aerokit due to the local roads.

dealmaker - were you able to special order orange seatbelts? If so, take a picture of those as I've never seen those before.

ronmart,

No I didnt explore that option - I know it's fairly big bucks to get coloured belts (regular colours) - so Orange ones would no doubt have been prohibitive!

In any event having once had Yellow belts on my 993 RS I would not recommend them to anyone as no matter how careful you are they get really dirty, really quickly!

Must admit I'd like to swap out the (black) "Sparco" race harnessses in my (Orange!) Murcielago for Orange versions of the same - don't suppose you know anyone who makes/supplies these do you?

I like the color, and in actual fact, I have always liked the metallic version (Zanzibar red I think), which had that firey red-orange metallic hues. I always fear that I may get 'bored' with the color, so I have stuck with something more traditional (Atlas Grey). Maybe next time.......
