Mexico blue matte vinyl wrap finally done. Pics inside

I am taking my 2000 boxster (997 front end conversion) in for a full body wrap next week. I was deciding between mexico blue, speed yellow, or carrara white. Wife and everyone around me tries to convince me against the smurf looking mexico blue wrap. Although the color plate does not name the particular blue as mexico blue, but the color sample strip looks close enough. IT is a big gamble going with such a daring color. I am coming from arctic silver (original paint in good condition) on a 10 year old car. Just want to try something daring and get some support from 6speedonline fans. Wost comes to worst. I can still have it peeled off and go back to arctic silver again.

I'm sorry but that color is awful. I'm always around the SGV area and please do not let me see your ride.

I would have to disagree with the op, Mexico Blue is one of Porsche best colors in my opinion. Go for it!

socalbreeze:
I can totally understand this hue is a love it or hate it choice. My wife just told me that the car will be attention getting in a grotesque way and that no one will want to be seen in this car........
Maybe I will back out last minute when I take this car in to the shop and pick a safe color such as white.

Mexico Blue is a gorgeous color, but post a picture of your car first.

Now this I've got to see. Mexico Blue is my favorite color for Porsches, and the Boxster is just screaming for loud, unique colors. What are the interior & convertible colors? What wheels do you have? Can't wait to see pics..
