Mexico Blue is the official color for 997. If ever buy a 997GT3 it must be in that color or white.

Can't wait to see it with the new wheels. They'll lighten your unsprung load by a ton as well.

Great board sponsors all.

I have a lot more mods planned, including some DYMAG carbon / magnesium rims on order from Bill at Rennworx, but I knew if I waited any longer to get pics up, I was going to have to quit posting!

Thanks again, Russ
Hi! Is your car paint by the factory under the color to sample option? Could you possibly let me know the color of the code? My dealer couldn't get a sample of this color and gave me a sample of the Riviera Blue... which looks similar and just isn't the same as yours.

Your 997 simply has the best color I've seen. I would love to order my 997 in this color. Please please help me.

It was a color to sample option, but the factory provided the sample and paint. Paint code just reads "1973 Mexico Blue." Thanks.

And thanks Bruce. I thought it was a very nice article. I don't normally read Modified Luxury & Exotic so I had to search to find it. They did a much more significant article than I expected, even though the color didn't look right.

This car is just stunning!!! Did you have to use spacers with the Techarts - if so what size? Also, what are you going to do for "round 2"?
