Would you just go pick the thing up already!? It's 10AM, and it's sunny...what the heck are you waiting for?

That thing is without a doubt hands down the most striking non-RS GT3 I've seen so far.

I'd fall all over myself if someone did an RS in that combination.

Napleton Porsche of Westmont has the artwork and can have them cut and matched to about any color. This is a vinyl type of decal that didnt take them that long to apply.

I am also having a clear bra installed, clear side markers, track alignment is finished, and the cup car front grills.

Jim, what part of the world are you located in? I ask because I'm an unoriginal slim ball and for that reason I want to copy your color scheme on my on order GT3. It is simply THAT fantastic a combo.

I hope that you won't be too terribly upset 'cause your colors are INSANELY rightous and I must possess them.

The cars stomping grounds will be in the Chicagoland area.

I'd say go for it if that's the way you want it. When I was finally placing my order for car there was a pretty good debate of the shade of blue we would use. It took me a long time to decide (days), there was a strong argument for Riviera Blue and Cobalt Blue (which was the color of my previous 997 C2S).

I'm very happy with the way it turned out, it's just the way I wanted it.

Hot dog! Mine is changed! Though I have steel brakes and red belts.

After all of my color changes my dealer doesn't think much of my ability to commit... but Cobalt on Carrara White with cobalt GT3 decals is IT.

Thumbs up Video of my GT3

Here's a little video clip from yesterday at the track. I got a friend of mine to mount my camera in his C6 Z06 and to get some video of my car on the track... enjoy!

Bill,

Spectacular car, and lovely appearance design. How did you come up with the color-combo and design in the first place? Did you see one similar, or just dreamt it up by yourself?

In any case, superb job well done.

Thanks for sharing.

Jim,

Congratulations and enjoy her in best of health. A creative color combination. . . Sort of French Impressionism in a Germanic power-package! I anticipate copycats will soon be around the corner.
