Is this it? ==> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=4626388689

It's not my cup of tea, because I don't like painted wheels. BTW, I've see much uglier P-cars on e-bay. There was a hot pink on listed about 6 months ago. Also, the "Pure Orange" (shown below) color is horrible, IMO.

I don't lke the exterior at all, and I really can't understand why somebodywould do that to the interior. Maybe it looks better in person????

That's its gota. The painted wheel option could be the worst thing I've ever seen. You'd have to pay ME a lot to get that done.

The seller needs to get a better camera...the red (interior/ exterior) looks orange in some photos.

By the way, I really like the "pure orange" but not the painted wheels

I also like the pure orange. Certainly not for everybody, and I'd be paranoid as hell about cops zeroing in their radar guns on my flying piece of fruit.

I don't think the eBay car is hideous at all. Ok, even I don't like the GR wheels, but the rest of the car is great. Throw on some Champions...

Its the painted wheels that make the car look ugly.I saw the exact same car in a porsche dealers a few weeks ago(but without painted wheels) and thought it looked fantastic.I think in this case the pictures are poor and do not show the exterior colour properly

Can't imagine that the dealer would have ordered the car that way for inventory... must have been a custom order that the ordering buyer walked away from. Hmmm, I wonder why?

Oh, it's not bad. Just swap out the wheels.

The car is fine, the wheels have to go. With the GR wheels, it is just a bit over the top for me

I saw the carrera gt that was painted Lambo orange. It was Stoddard Porsche in Ohio. The new owner of the dealership gave us a tour of the facilty on christmas eve day when they were closed. We made friends with him at the hershey event. What a great guy and true porsche nut. The car looked awesome in that color.It was the best looking gt that I have ever seen.
