Default My Azurite Blue GTS

It's been a long wait, but the PPF is now being installed and it will soon be in my garage!

Nice.
Appears to be 100% coverage.

What's the cost of that these days?
And what film did you go with?

Looks bone stock except the wheels have been refinished to delete the Spyder polished rim- or is it a body colored paint option?

Very cool.

The film is Xpel. Total cost is about $8k CAD. Yes, full body PPF.

Yes, the build sheet shows option 346 (Wheels Painted Silver), but at some point they were refinished in black. When I get around to it, I'll probably have them redone in silver, since I much prefer that look.

Gorgeous car and a color I’ve never heard of before! Would’ve guessed Meerblau or Albert. You have to get us some pics of it outside in natural light when she’s all wrapped up. Thanks for sharing! Cheers

Thanks! Yes, I'll definitely have some outdoor pics to share soon.

Funnily enough when it was on consignment at a local dealer, they had it incorrectly listed as Albert Blue. According to Rennbow, Azurite is five paint cans rare. It was briefly offered as a non-PTS colour on the 944, but I've only heard of one other 911 that has the same paint code - 37N.

Thanks for the info.
The color is, indeed, rare and amazing.

If you are looking to cure the inset rear wheel- need to buy wheels with a correct offset.

I just ordered a set of forged OZ wheels and will be selling my Ultraleggeras (cast, form flow, but are the same weight as the OEM forged Fuchfelge Spyders- and are 9 and 12" wide vice 8.5 and 11").
They are matte black with zero damage in OEM double walled boxes. In LA.
You'd have to paint them silver, but would have proper offsets and 245/35 325/30 rubber.

LMK.
Will be priced to sell if interested.

Enjoy your Coupe!
Oh, 6MT or PDK?

I want to see it out on the sun - bet it's fantastic.

Just needs something other than black wheels to be perfect.

Yeah the black wheels are no go on a car that special. Never heard or seen of the color but it looks fantastic. Keep it forever and enjoy in good health.
