Default Aqua Blue...the decison is upon me...

I am now considering Aqua Blue. A gentleman from Seattle had some good pics of Aqua being delivered to him. I just can't seem to find those pics.

Do swirl marks present themselves more than Arctic Silver?

I figured out i need to open color option up to find the right features on these cars!

Any pics would be great as I make my decison today! D DAY and good friday!

I think you are looking for my photos, though I am actually in the Portland area. None the less, hope these help. I LOVE the color, it is my favorite non- paint-to-sample "blue" from Porsche in over a decade. Swirl marks do not seem to be an issue. Anyway, to the photos:























Hope that helps
Michael

Color is so subjective - look at the pic above in DaHapa's post avatar - GT Silver is stunning. Then you look at the Aqua Blue car and all you can say is "damn, that's gorgeous." Get the color you really love and can live with.

I had a Cobalt Blue 07 C2S and loved it. Traded that for an Arctic Silver GT3 and really missed the color. My ordered 09 C2S w/ Sport PASM is on a ship heading this way -- Aqua Blue!

That's a great blue. Go for it. You'll soon be the center of attention.

Amazing color. One of my favorites (which is basically every color they make a Porsche in besides the Green.)

I stared at Aqua Blue (and every other color) a lot before recently getting my new TT. If you like blue, Aqua is a very, very pretty color; personally I like it much better than Cobalt or the other recent blues (although Edgy's car in Turquoise is hawt!).

Aqua Blue is a really unfortunate name for the color since it's not Aqua at all - it's a really gorgeous, deep blue. I really like it and I'm a big fan of Cobalt Blue. As mentioned by Michael above, it's probably the prettiest non paint-to-sample blue Porsche has had in a while.

Wow, those are beautiful pics. Great color. I agonized on my order (09cayman) and in the end went with midnight. looking at these photos though.....well, too late to change now!

to the OP, these cars stay on the road a long time, so you have a duty to put such a good looking color out there.........go for it!
