Default Cobalt Blue

If anyone with cobalt blue would post some picks of there cars I would greatly appreciate it. Yes I have seen pictures before but this color seems to vary quite a bit. I really need to see one in person but nothing at the the local dealer.

Thanks

If you do a search, you'll find tons of pics of Porsches in this color - Cobalt is eye candy IMO.

I'm trying so hard to behave -- one bad thread, and I've already got a bad reputation! If you're putting me and OCBEN in the same category, I'm moving over to the Mazda board.

On the subject matter, from my experience cobalt blue looks a lot different in person and in different lighting than it does in pictures. My advice would be to user porsche new and used car locator and see if you can find any cobalt blue cars in you area. I would also expand my search to other models which are available in cobalt blue, gt3, turbo, maybe cayman. Good luck.

A good idea; In my area there are usually alot of Boxsters in this color. Your mileage may vary.

yeah yeah yeah searched came up with hardly anything cobalt without having to go thru hundreds of posts... just thought someone maybe proud of there color and post a picture or two... i said in my orginal post i have seen pictures and they look different, I also said there are none at the local dealer, at least I paid for a membership so you didnt all gang up on me like ya did in one of the other threads but I am beginning to wonder why? so thanks a bunch for nothing! you dont have to read or respond to every post . specially the ones that dont interest you!

Hey with the cobalt blue really tough to tell anything with pics as the shine makes it look so different in different lighting.I remember seeing some pics when shopping and looked very different at a dealer.Sorry I know this does not help your search.

Phil, your "997 reputation" is completely different from your "996 reputation!" I guess that makes you a true Renaissance Man!

Check out the 997 Turbo board. Do a search on threads started by Atomic80. He posted come good pics of his Cobalt TT.
