Yeah...yeah...yeah...I was just joking around man...take it easy...the boards are boring as hell lately. Bottom line...you need to see the cars in person...pics don't do a thing. That's why I invited him to one of our meets in NJ. Sounds like you're a bit sensitive about the fact that you didn't get black!

I have Lapis and I love it. You just need to keep it clean and watch out for finger prints. It's tought to get nice pics of lapis too, very tricky color.

And drool too.

I love lapis, but then I'm of the school that silver/blk are 80% of all porshe's and hence look kinda plain - in Socal.

lapis is cool b/c its an "interesting" color - really brings out the curves and lines of the car very well - yet at night...looks black!

I had GT silver stock wheels w/ my lapis b4 I went centerlocks...
