Default 997.2 Riviera Blue with Orange Accents....AMAZING!

Posted over on L4P forum (not my pictures but just wanted to share) but the colors look amazing together. Love the brighter blue Gulf theme....

Will Porsche paint brake calipers, or is that custom (or photoshopped)? Red or yellow are the biggest obstacle when it comes to creative body/wheel paint combos, IMO.

What country is that car in or is that the car that originally came out of Riverside?

Most likely custom painted calipers, looks good that way too. I don't know why Porsche doesn't offer the option to paint the calipers anymore, seems like it was a nice profit at around $1400 or so back on the 993's.

that is the RS that was on the truck when my (lowly) white GT3 was delivered.
It was leaving LA area, heading for Fla.

Made it a "bit" harder to keep my eye on the car I was about to drive

that colour scheme doesn't do anything for me.
way too contrived nowadays. would have looked better with black or grey trim.
the plain white is nicer.

I like it but would prefer black accents. Porsche of fairfield has/had RS same color scheme. Almost priced as high as Pioneer birch green!

So i guess there are at least two in this combo. 186k and they will cover up to 4.5k, sounds like a deal! http://fairfield.porschedealer.com/n...48131/info.php

I'd take the birch as well...

And at least the calipers, belts and stichting all match, but fail on the door pulls.

Love the Gulf colors. My dream is to ultimately have the 4.0 in that color scheme - probably as a wrap since they only come in black and white...
