Isringhausen had their car at Road America Labor Day weekend on display. Told him I'd take it if he'd trade me even up for my white '10... Beautiful, but not subtle!!

Love the action photo! The indoor and outdoor shots really show how Mexico Blue changes in hue depending on the light.

I'll be at Rennsport Reunion @ Laguna Seca on Sunday from around 10-4, parked in the "green" Porsche corral if anyone wants to see the car in person ...

black dive planes!!! ... you painted them?

Also, how did you figure out the positioning? - I got a photo and scaled a template in order to properly position them on the bumper ala the 4.0 RS??

Daedton, was your car at Champion for a while before they sent it to Autoquest for the shifter?

If so, I hope they wiped my greasy prints and drewls of of it before they sent it to CO ;-)

Black dive planes look like they belong there. Nice!

Thanks guys, been doing more reading than posting. As for Mexico Blue, the color has really grown on me. I love how it almost changes colors in the different light conditions. However, to those who are not Porsche enthusiast it is simply a baby blue Porsche. I often find myself explaining the color to the general public as it does draw a fair amount of attention. Guess that is the price of having a unique car in a unique color.

If you are in the area, or plan to be at the Rennsport Reunion Sunday @ LS ... you can see my car in person
and (hopefully) I got dibs on this when it's time to go!

has anyone ever seen a Maritime Blue GT3?
