Blue 997TT pics please..

Saw a gorgous blue 997TT today... The porsche website won't load for some reason, so I can't figuer out the exact name of the color...
A quick search didn't turn out any pics of the color I'm looking for...
I've seen the 997TT in ALOT of different colors, but that blue was the 1st time and it completely blew me away...
Can anybody post some pics?

Thanks

I can add nothing to Kirby's awesome work, but here are some snapshots of my Cobalt at pickup.

haha... Didn't you come to the Fall's Exotix Run last october? I remember a black 997TT that joined us as we were leaving the parking lot...
See you in the morning!


Thanks for the pics guys... Thats the color! It looks amazing in person, specially in the late afternoon sun. Great choice to whoever got their cars in that color!

Here are a few more pictures of my car.











It's a beautiful shade of blue and by far one of my favorite colors by Porsche.

I can't decide which wheels I like more... but leaning towards the ones in the last picture...
Which ones did you end up keeping?

Atomic's Cobalt beast is the stunner of the month club. Hands down.

Any weight comparisons on the gt3 wheel vs stock?

I believe the GT3 wheels are slightly heavier than the stockers

This almost answers to Eric's question:

GT3 -design wheels
Front : 997GT3/GT3RS 8,50 x 19 ET53 : 11,14Kg
Rear: 997GT3RS 12 x 19 ET51 : 14 kg

BBS racing wheel in 19†with Porsche offsets :

Front : 8.5x19 : 9.95Kg
Rear : 12x19 : 10.57Kg

I chose latter for my track set, reason stated above. Yes, GT3 looks amazing but there's no reason having PCCB and then choose outright heaviest wheels on top of that setup.

Actually, as it turns out, the stock wheels are almost identical in weight to the GT3/RS wheels. The front Turbo wheel is lighter and the front GT3 wheels heavier and the rear Turbo wheel heavier and the GT3 wheel lighter so it kind of offsets each other. Yes, I'm well aware that these wheels are heavier than many of the aftermarket alternatives out there. I wanted to use as much of the OEM equipment as possible and these GT3/RS wheels are IMHO one of the best looking wheels to come out of Porsche.

Sorry I posted so many pictures with alternating wheels...I currently have the GT3/RS wheels on the car. Love it.
