Seal Gray vs Slate Gray
 
Going to finalize my 997S order on Monday. :D Trying to get some last minute opinion on Seal Gray vs Slate Gray, which color do you guys like better?

Seal. I was looking at Slate Grey the other day and it is absolutely wonderful in the shade but it has some interesting characteristics when in direct sunlight. It could just be my eyes.

Seal is my favorite.

i vote for seal but the problem is too many seal out there that makes the slate special. what interior color are u getting?

02barebones996 03-06-2005 07:09 PM

seal looks great but i agree with eh arbling man... too many seals out there..
atlas looks bad ass..

seal gray all the way. Slate has some brown in it, which I don't like. Seal is lighter and has some hints of light blue. I think Seal is a sportier color to have on a car like a Porsche.

But Slate is nice too.

There's been some shots of Slate with Terracota. I like contrast (my Porsches have always been Guards/Beige/Black).

Seal all the way....gives the appearance that the car was crafted from a metal block.

Slate has a brown tone that looks a bit low-rent imo.

Slate is more rare and darker. Consider Atlas... it is very unique.

Every body and their mother's got a seal out here. Seal and Arctic are cop- outs. Wouldnt drive a seal Porsche for free. Its not a Porsche color. Its the product of a larger trend in the States - Silver or Grey. Slate is bad a##. No comparison. The fact that the majority on this board prefer Seal is the exact reason you should go for Slate.

I ordered Seal a 2nd time. Silver was too light, Atlas too dark, and Slate too expensive.

I don't really care if there are other Seal Gray cars out there: I didn't buy the car for it to be unique looking.

TUUNER 03-06-2005 11:27 PM

Yup. I got the color I wanted...not the color other people don't have.

slate is a bit dark but not as formal as black. it's a more unique and rare color. if you like to be different, it's the one for you.

seal is more mature than silver but almost as sporty. it's a popular choice since it's classy and sporty at the same time

TheJudge 03-07-2005 04:19 AM

sorry if I offended anyone. I'm not a Seal fan. Thats all. I like Slate but not worth 3 large to me. Plus, I like weird colors. I'm thinking of ordering an orange/black 997s with black techarts. Probably will cop out like the rest of the world and get a black on black though! how about those dodgers?

stephsguy 03-07-2005 06:43 AM

Seal in my opinion is the best color not to dark and not to light always looks clean. I've had an 03 seal c2 and when I decided to buy a Turbo it had to be seal.

Didn't your momma tell you to think before your speak. Everybody likes an opinion when its said without putting others taste in the can. :p
