What wheels are those? Are they the factory GT3RS or did you just take the standard GT3 wheels and paint them black?

BTW your car looks stunning!!!

Needless to say Porsche would not do them from the factory.
I had them done by a firm over here.

Riviera blue looks great, but the plastic interior and the half *** blue trims looks bad.

Don't know if going "full ***" on the blue trim would have worked, it might be a little too much. The plastic could be replaced maybe with some carbon pieces, I think thats what it needs.

The interior trims is easy enough to mix and match after the fact. I might add more blue to the piece around the shifter and the e-brake, but not too much. That or make everyting grey/silver. The hard part to change is the exterior color, but Riviera the looks perfect. Great looking car!

Stunning.

The MK2 comes with anthracite wheels and I believe RB might be a $4k option for the MK2 in NA.

As others have said: beautiful car.

One question though: how do people tend to react to the Riviera? I'm seriously considering a GT3 3.8 and am thinking about ticking the 'paint to sample' option for Riviera. I'm a bit worried about other road-users' reactions though...

I dont think I have had one negative comment in 2 years.
People would often stop and stare.I also have a full Cargraphic
exhaust system which makes it sound as good as it looks.
If you don't want to be noticed don't get this colour.

I don't mind being noticed as long as its not a "you're a w@nker" type attention. I (would like to) believe that Riviera is so 'out there' you can probably get away with it.
