Im all about PTS but this is just ugly

Hey was at the Porsche roadshow up in Monticello this past weekend and what an awesome event it was. Noticed this ugly duckling and had to snap a pic, sorry if its anyone here but damn that is just tough to look at and believe me I am a fan of almost all color combos.... I think what really hurt it was the yellow side stickers, sticker must have been big too because it had yellow stitching just about everywhere.

Anyways, if anyone gets a chance, go to the porsche roadshow in your city, its worth it!

hard to pull that color off with a cab. on a coupe without the side decal, 20mm drop with black wheels it might look decent.

Like mentioned above, would look nice if:
-removes the yellow side lettering
-was a coupe instead of conv.
-Black aftermarket wheels(or black 997.2 turbo S wheels)
-Lowered 20mm
-maybe a vinyl design like i have on my car

Is that Signal Green?

Because it can work...if you use the right color combinations and got rid of that ridiculous sticker.

its not that bad just not for a turbo cab (defining a refined look.)

On a GT3 or RS car tho it would become transparent..

I think different cars take different colors well. Look at a Viper in Lime Green and it looks great while the New Inferno Orange looks great on the Vette. Personally, I like yellow and even orange on the 911 but that is about as bright as I would go....well I'll be honest, I like the green (with Black Wheels!) on the 911 but as stated by Bbywu, the sticker must go.

I like it. The yellow might be too much, but it looks good.

I agree with most of you, seeing it in person, it looked a bit different than the RS or GT3 color green (which I LOVE!!!)

To make this one drivable I would get black wheels, tint windows black and get rid of yellow stickers, but still in cab variant it just doesn't present well.

That was a great event and that green on that car does not work for me.
