Depending on who you ask, you may find bright bumblebee yellow over black with a big wing on the rear deck to be just as garish as a white over red car.

My previous p-car was exactly what you're describing Natey. I was actually considering turbofever's 997tt but it was priced a little over my budget. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

The Red interior seems to show much brighter in pictures and is richer in person. I recently purchased a Carrera White over Carerra Red interior 12 Cab TT. There are too many white accents with the wheels and all. Its like a peppermint... I have the deviating black carpet and sport seats not the "supple" with ruffles. I also have teh Black Center Lock wheels. I still need to find the time to get pictures and get them posted. I am still detailing it the way I want it. They interior looked clean but after 3 white microfibers and griots leather conditioner it was shocking at the dirt a single owner maintained car had.

I️ think it’s pretty cool, especially if it’s not your dd. I️ think it could get old as a daily, but I️ like it for a once in a while car!

I think the white pieces in the interior and on the wheels is all that needs to change. Great looking car.

Not the worst I have seen, I don't like the white door pulls on the inside at all, but the thing that jumps out at me the most is those tires are too shiny for my taste.

Paint the white interior trim pieces black and buy some black mats and it would be stunning.

I second this. Easy fix, would make a big difference. Its a 2009 manual, not many of those around! The price with those miles may be a bit garish tho.
