As for a GR 997, I love em.


Great looking car. Silver over red is so classic. Saw a gorgeous Gullwing Benz in this color scheme at the Mercedes museum in Irvine...T

(She drives a GR Boxster...to pretend to care about the OP's thread at this point ) Well when I got to it in person, both me and the wife fell in love with it and the interior perfectly sets the car off. I cannot explain how different it looks in person as the tone and deepness of it is simply not captured on camera and believe me.....I have tried to.
Your car's color combo is amazing. Love the red leather. One of the most handsome cars on this forum. I would love a NB 997.2 in GT Silver with red and black interior. 6-speed, PSE, LSD, SPASM, sport seats. That would be a future classic for sure.

OP, please post photos if you get one. Cheers.

Just worry about what you want and not what others might think. Guards Red is PERFECT.

I personally love RED colored cars, and 911s are no exceptions! Go for it! YOLO~
