It looks spectacular.
IIRC, there have been pics posted here on RL of 997TT and 997GT3s in that color.

Cobalt is a great color, and was a $3,000+ option in 2006.

Loved my Cobalt. Mine appeared darker than Tim's.

Most Porsche dealerships do NOT have a body shop. But, regardless, the wheels can be painted at a quality paint shop.

Cobalt is just out of this world. I just bought a white one but cobalt would be #1 if i could ever find it.

I always liked the Cobalt, more than the current Aqua. Here they are together, to give you an idea of the slight change with the 997.2 bodies.
