M5 WIN!!!

I don't like Matte or Green, but that is hot.

On a side note:

Steve is

. I'm cracking up.

I don't like the orange, I think if it were less bright maybe. Maybe like the sunset orange on the Corvettes. Now that's hot color.

Wow, Howie, major transformation with the blacked scoop and mirrors! Sweet!

Dan, not to toss the thread,, but do you have an pics of gloss black wraps on a 996? Or are they all mat colours?

You know what, that actually looks pretty OEM, kind of like Porsche did a limited edition 996 turbo RS paint theme like they did on the current GT3RS'. Looks good

much better with the black accents, if there were any way to paint the inside of the headlights (the chrome surround parts) in black, that would finish it off beautifully.

The stock 996 turbo is a fairly subtle car so to pull off these crazy colours I think it does generally need some more faily 'out there' body parts - e.g. GT2 spoiler and so on. I think with the lower parts of the side skirts and rear bumper wrapped orange that would really help as it would give the car a much more bulky and aggressive look, helping it pull off that very bold colour!

How is it driving about? Does everyone stare at you? I know they would here!
