While it's not ideal, you can wrap a car whatever color you want these days. I wouldn't buy a color I hated but if I bought and regretted a second choice, easy to fix.

It it may even make sense to some to buy the best resale color no matter your preference, and wrap it how you want.

I ended res up with seal gray, which I love, but white or yellow were my first choices. Couldnt find one.

I often lust most for colors I probably also wouldn't buy - Mexico blue for example. Probably my favorite but I don't think that I'd buy it.

I wanted white but found a local midnight blue with a crap ton of mods I wanted that I can't afford to buy separate so bought that.

Sure. Who doesn't want to post pictures of their toy. I need new ones - these are from the summer. Forest green, natural brown interior.

Swore I'd never own another black 911........then the Ruf conversion car I told a friend about 4 years earlier became available. Oh well.

Not usually a brown interior guy but that color is a must on a green car, beautiful!

Love the Forest Green combo -

I also waited - wanted dark blue with grey - once I found one - pulled the trigger

Hold out for the one you want. I did. I'm very happy with the Ghost. That said, if a screaming deal popped up I might have jumped on it.

I actually originally wanted the dark grey interior.
This though looks better in person than in the pictures and I've started quite liking it.

I had resigned to the fact that my car would end up being silver or gray given the number of those made. I really like the silver...reminds me of the print ads growing up. I actually got lucky and came across the white (Biarritz) instead and could move on it because I had my ducks in a row (not the case for a good portion of my looking and researching). Paid off to be ready but as much as I love the white don't think I'd have had the patience to "wait" for it.

I certainly skipped the unicorn, and went for a Seal Grey that I thought was a bargain.


I have no regrets. The car is so intrinsically fantastic that I think it would be hard for someone (that the 996TT was well suited to) to not love it, regardless of the color.


That said, my reaction to the Forest Green, Midnight Blue, and Lapis is "Oooooo!"
