Haha... I don't know mate. I had a black 996TT in a galaxy far far away back in 2002. I played silly drag racing games with it so the grown up black was LOST on me;(

Your car, VIN #:WP0AC2A97BS783555 is one of four (4) PTS Riviera Blue 3.8RS as referenced by PCNA and Riviera Blue is even stated as the color on the Isringhausen website.

Riv Blue is a few shades deeper and richer than Gulf Blue but most people don't realize this unless both colors are parked side by side at an event.

As you know, I am partial to Riv Blue ........
Roger that... I was saying "themed" not actual It's riviera blue which is blue enough for me tho

Hove a good trip!
You could be in CA in three days it you choose to do so.
I would invest in a set of foamy ear plugs for the car is loud and the tire noise will be loud as well,
the earplugs will just take the edge off.
Fact is i'd forget about the exhaust changes since the car is loud enough in it's stock form.
Look forward to 90 octane fuel in TX, thats all you'll find!
I've done lots of cross-country trips on I-40
Don't forget "The Big Texan" for lunch in Amarillo and "Cadillac Ranch" also just West of Amarillo (Exit 60 I believe)

Captain's Log: Star Date 1/11/11
We are packing our gear for the trip out to Springfield to pick the car up and the good folks at Isringhausen (thanks to Geoff & crew) were kind enough to send me a few updates.

Now what is this, our no-named girl is up on a lift already?


What's going on. I see a bumper coming off? Maybe the guys at Isringhausen are just checking for rattles in the heat shields. That must be it...


Nope. The rattle seems to be deeper and coming from one of the side mufflers:


Aha... busted! That out to fix that "rattle"...


Although she does have a fancy ipod connection (hey Porsche did finally discover the ipod in 2009!) the only tunes we'll be playing are from this Sharkwerks exhaust thingemejig:


And don't worry the factory Titanium tips work just fine with our exhaust too. Although no titanium was harmed in the process our part is still about 8 pounds lighter than what came off anyways:


There she is waiting to be gulped up by a pair of West Coast Sharks first thing in the morning. That red GTS doesn't look half-bad either!? Gary you take the RS and Wyatt you take GTS (sort of Weird Science reference in Kelly LeBrock's accent):

Could it be possible to get just those checkered side/door stickers in GT3 RS orange -L8C6- without that blue car....?

Apparently someone has copied the design because they weren't available from the factory in that colour you have on your car. Which, BTW, is quite nice!
